Artist Statement:
I am a storyteller
thanks to my father. He is a comedian, which means I grew an environment where
theater, music and art surrounded me. My father used theater to express his
stories and I discovered fine art. Much of my artwork consists of
illustrations, storyboarding, and graphic novels. When art cannot fully express
every minute detail I switch to writing. Writing is an effective tool that
benefits my artwork simultaneously. The sources for my narratives derive mostly
from real life.
My creative process consists of
borrowing the identity of strangers I come across with. Their demeanor is so
odd to me that I find a way to incorporate them in my artwork, basing my
characters from their essence. I primarily focus on the people relationships
surrounding my life and using different characters as manifestations of myself.
Illustrating large pieces with an array of people fascinates me. It is interesting
to see the different personalities interact with each other and observe how
they adapt to conflicting situations.
