Getting back to drawings and lines

I have being craving getting back to drawings lines constantly.  Don't get me wrong, I love my abstract and expressive art process, but sometimes making a mark, goes beyond the unrecognizable, and I like it.

I find very important to feed our creative urges.  Feeding the need to draw lines gives me the opportunity not to get a creative block.  After making a body of work of large expressive abstract pieces, the lines and marks keeps me going on.  They are flowers, still life, even portraits that I'm making in to photographic experiments.

Who knows what this lines will lead me to...I only know I need to make them and I will.

Have you ever wanted to make something that you are afraid of doing creativly?  What is stopping you?

Color for the community!!

I'm very happy to announced my Solo Exhibition at the Mulberry Cultural Center.  It will be free of charge for all te community that wants to visit. 

Here is a little bit about the show:

"This body of work is expressive abstract, carelessly marking the way to redefine the figurative work. I try to draw out the complexity of life. I want to give form to the contradictions and the increasing difficulty of categorizing reality. Intensity and vitality are always close together in my paintings.

The language of flowers in particular and my relationship with them, evokes deep emotions and memories that takes me to execute those feelings and memories using radiant colors in the purest form. The result is palpable, and converts my love for nature in a careless and free act of creation.

The voice in the art speaks a million words that I couldn't possibly articulate verbally, and hold firmly onto the state of connection felt in resolution.  Creation is about the wonders of nature and our power to express freely."

This is a major accomplishment for me, and I'm very exited to share this moment with you.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
