[Artist] Statement
The Andes are the expression of a cosmic miracle , which inspired me to consecrate my life to art . My art, be it painting or music, is my contribution to the strong identity of the Andean people. In various occasions my art invites to a thoughtful process of thinking, in others it shouts and protests. My work also tries to capture satire, as Goya himself did, manifesting the essence of my Andean roots, and the spirit of my Latin people.
At a very young age, I was surprised by the languid provincial life, and in later years, I reflected this sentiment through my work, combining this early sense of isolation with elements of happiness, such as simple celebrations of rural life and its mystic interpretation.
In my paintings, I seek to capture the pureness, the joy, and the solemnity of a life unstained by mankind's selfishness. My compositions exhibit colors and forms that, when combine with ordinary images of day-to-day life, creates a sense of magical reality.
A reality in which both, artist and spectator become immersed in the discovery of a new creative ritual.
I would still be surrounded by the adventure of dreams, magic and myths, in which our tireless search for forms, language, signals, balance and tension are carried out.
