Artist Statement:
B. 1973, Costa Rican-born American
From an early age I've always been interested in Art. Art has the power to transform people's lives by revealing personal hidden qualities. at an early age my family and I moved to the coastal city of Antofagasta, Chile were I developed a strong connection with nature living between the Atacama desert and the sea. I received formal training at the University of Hartford, CT where I earned a BFA. My paintings are reflections of conversations I have with nature. Things that come from dreams, reveries, contemplations, etc. I also like to combine different materials such as marble plaster and gold/silver leaf.
My paintings blend expressive handling with bright tones and voluminous forms. They are a window to the trascendental, it connects us with our unconscious mind and reveal what we cannot see with our own eyes.
I currently live in Deland, FL, with my wife and two children.
