Artwork Description
Description
This piece has a lot of texture due to high-flow acrylics, collage, and oil pastels. It was inspired by the process of layering with different materials including paint markers. Also by the variability in outcomes and the endless possibilities of combinations possible. This painting reads like a book in that every corner and space has its own details and story.
Artist Information
Bio
I was born in Mexico and grew up in Alvin, Texas.  I attended the University of Houston in 2001-2005.  In June of 2021 my family and I relocated to Seattle, WA.  The time spent with my family on walks, trips, and adventures definitely influences my work.  I also draw inspiration from looking within, emotions and feelings of nostalgia.  Outside of making art I enjoy reading self-improvement and non-fiction books, playing tennis, and camping.

Artist Statement
After 20 years of painting, I continue to be inspired by nature and work in the representational style.   I now may also join a realistic subject with mixed media.  My abstract work is about letting the result surprise you after putting automatic and impulsive actions in a sequence.  You don’t always know what will happen or how it will look.  It is about satisfying your impulses and making the mark that comes from within.  An intuitive process of layering collage with mixed media, letting the marking actions transform your painting into something you would not have thought of.  




Whether its an intuitive abstract piece or realistic rendering my works are capsules of color.  I mostly choose muted, vintage colors unless as I’m working the present layout calls for a vibrant hue as a contradictory or complimentary element.  As the colors are placed next to each other they start to interact.  That’s where the fun begins!
