"Recreating the human experience thru art"
As an artist I live a life of contradiction. There are instances when my art can be safe, gentle and sublime. Then there are the instances when it becomes combative and confrontational. Admittedly I don't believe in remaining in one particular mode for long due to the sameness factor and I can get bored easily. Certain factors contribute to my decisions on how I want a particular work to be perceived by the viewer. A few but not all of the most important factors includes visual stimuli plus pure imagination. With the current state of affairs in our world either locally, nationally or globally I'll always have subject matter to work with. I prefer to remain apolitical with my work. Everyone's fair game despite any political or social affiliation. My work ranges from biting socio-political commentary to satire. I work in a realist style due to the fact that this is how I can tell a story. I am not a proponent of abstract styles because basically that's not how I'm wired! I think that most of my influences can be credited with artists such as Goya, Sisquieros, Ribera, Velasquez and Norman Rockwell. There are others without a doubt but these artists come to mind first.
