New Works ( In Progress ??)
The summer was quite interesting beaucase I traveled a fair amount. Traveling is a passion for me. I like to go places and see new, unfamiliar things. I enjoy nature, but I am really drawn to cities - human creations. I still walk with my head up, like a tourist even in my own city. I was able to visit several museums to zoom in a few paintings or sculptures, and several galleries in Europe and the US. It felt like fresh air in my face. I was not able to paint on a regular basis but when I got to do it, it felt like a furious pace. It was like getting out all the ideas brewing in my mind. Here are a few. Some of the works are conceptual since the they were done with a topic in mind: Freedom/ Democracy/ Independence with Venezuela in the background...others.. I will talk about them some other time.
The running of the Bulls
Paint in Progress
And the exploration goes on...100 iterations to get to that specific place that only exist in my mind.
I love the change and the evolution as every new stroke changes the whole picture and the rearrangement starts again.
Women of Timbuktu II (In Progress)
Women of Timbuktu II ( In Progress)
The city of Timbuktu was at the height of its importance in the Islamic world during the 13th and 14th centuries as a trading post between West Africa and Europe and as a center of scholarship. Many of the texts used by Islamic diplomats who traveled between Timbuktu and Mecca, teach conflict resolution and tolerance. We do not know a great deal about this city and its time. These paintings reflect a past time deleted by the desert sand, but still alive.
Women of Timbuktu III
Marching in Zamora (In progress)
While in Zamora this summer, I got to see a very cool dance group. They dance "Funky perverso." I met Andrógeno's manager who allowed me to take many pictures. I tried to capture the experience from a different point of view.
El grupo (In Progress)
El grupo
....and I continue with bulls. I have a few paintings in my mind that flash back and forth. I am just letting them mature without thinking about them. I know, eventually, they are going to burst out.
