FRISSON-FICTION-FRICTION
My interest in drawing the human body reflects a number of ideas-one the possibility of story in a picture -two the desire to create a visual frisson. An aesthetic elegance that is more a feeling I get from a drawn line than any specific preconceived image. The frisson has to do with the line being alive. The line can represent, be a metaphor for any number of emotions or states of being. But I am not trying to draw any particular state of being. I just try to draw honestly. These drawing are above all else playful. One drawing inspires another but because they are play, happenstance controls the direction they take. I don't know where I am. The watercolor aspect of these drawing have a specific purpose to both draw the viewer closer to search and wonder about small things and to move the viewer outward towards a worldview of my imaginary world.

Si creas tus suenos con armor, se convierte en una obra de arte
As we all might know, alchemy is used in many ways. Alchemy as a philosophical discipline lies in the power to create more subtle ways of appreciating any situation that we must overcome.
The magnitude we must transform ourselves is infinite. When we experience pain, chaos, heartbreak, disappointment, sadness, loos and more, things like that always involve a challenge to our own feelings. Memories of succumbing to the spirit and ending broken up. The attitude of finding a way to generate more love from yourself, whispering softly to your heart of that force that is born so pure, will reveal what we are made of. Only a state of the purest love will bring you infinite peace. Everything is withing you. Welcome to Memory Market….
The materials used in these works are unusually varied. Oil, acrylic, synthetics, pastels, in addition to including plaster or textile textures, depending on the piece, are the means that connect me with the state of the memory to materialize what I feel with spirit.
