Artwork description
I am drawn to surrealism as it depicts a world where time is meaningless and gravity does not rule. In my “LATIN SERIES”, objects are possessed by the spirits of positive and negative emotions or are carried by my little hummingbird messengers to add further depth to the story. Hopefully my work will connect emotionally with viewers, encouraging them to unmask these objects to discover their spiritual core and find personal meaning within.
In “HORA FUGIT”, I layer imagery to symbolically represent the mounting pressure to achieve familial, societal and religious expectations. Like many gay men of my generation, I was expected to suppress and deny my natural desires, marry and reproduce, and live a morally upstanding life within a limited time frame. The balancing act I was supposed to play, while hiding my secret, was extremely difficult. I often felt like I had been lured into living someone else’s life. How did I let this happen? When will this hour pass and my life becomes my own?
