expressive portraits
Soñando Con Pomarrosas, my new Multimedia piece.
I battled with this piece for weeks, not knowing what the end result would be. At the end I destroyed it in pieces and reconstructed it again. It has a lot of meaning for me, one that I did not anticipated.
True acceptance of finding beauty in things as they are. Beauty is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete... Wabisabi way...
Here is a video of the process, thanks for reading!!
I love making portraits, there is something fascinating about creating faces. Every now and then I crave doing figurative work, more likely after I have painted a lot of abstract art. This small studies are 5x7 on Yupo paper and they were a lot of fun to make.
I also painted 3 mini portraits on canvas with the same color scheme. They were a challenge, the main goal was to create different faces but similar…
After taking photos of the mini faces to document my work, I realized they look like people from all over the world. I didn’t do this on purpose, but now I’m glad they turned on like that, because I’m thinking of creating a mini book or a zine around people from around the world.
My art work is inspired by my life experiences, and traveling has been very important in my life. I got to meet so many people from different countries in my travels and each of them have made a mark in me.
Let’s see where this project takes me.
