An artist ' s statement
M
y calling towards such form of expression came quite recently and funny enough , by accident . Just last October ( 2014 ) I got ahold of a broken canvas and decided to see what it would get out of it ; it ended up in the piece you see under the name Clar de luna . I got to the conclusion that life is but a tragic comedy , with masks that we create for ourselves in order to better cope with different situations .
After a quite intense , one might say mystical , experience , I started identifying and watched closely my own masks . Slowly they started crumbling and my true self is being discovered a bit more every day at a time . What I now feel and see in others and especially myself , I express it through my art . I believe everything that one creates has a deeper meaning strongly connected with our inner self , holding many answers as to what lies in one ' s mind and soul . Consciosness and the expansion of it plays the main role in the lives of each and every one of us , being however quite ignored by our thoughts . It is said a picture is worth 1000 words ; what is a picture with a meaning worth then ? With strong and expressive images I hope to bring this to light in people who look at my work and make them wonder ' what is it that I hide ? ' Creation is not only the one found in the already celebrated categories such as art , sculpture , literature , fashion etc . It can mean a thought , a feeling , a joke , likes & dislikes , a sneeze . So sneeze away !! Don ' t hold back . Just remember to look at what you leave behind ; maybe you can understand yourself a bit more from doing so . I leave with you now my creation ; my thoughts , my feelings and fears & cravings . I leave myself with you . Scroll over it , delete it , post it or ignore it ; it doesn ' t matter really . I just hope I might ' ve inspired you , even if in the slightest way possible .
