Mini Portraits Series

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.

I did Public Art in Florida

Last month I was invited to create public art by the City of Mulberry.  It was an amazing experience to say the least. The Abstract House (as I called the mural) is located at the Public Recreation Park and the artwork was inspired by one of my pieces that showed in my Solo Show and was the favorite among the kids.

I wanted to paint something colorful so kids were attracted to it. In the process of making it, a group of awsome kids got involved and helped me paint.  It was the must rewarding experience ever.

I painted the mural with rollers, brushes and spray paint, you can say I did mix media on a wall, and now I'm obssed with it!!!  I cant wait to do public art in the near future.
