Artist Statement:
I am an artist who is
perpetually engaged in the
creation of a seemingly
ethereal novel….: my life
lived among others with the
help of H/She who created me
in love while simultaneously
condemning me by imbedding
within me the soul of an
artist (as Jung stated: " the
artist is a blessing unto
others-a curse unto himself").
In a continuous labyrinth of
all pictorial, ephemeral and
permanent, I am oft
distracted, cogitating on what
my role as an artist is in
society, so that it may more
than purely inform as an
aesthetic activity…but also
act as a viable venue through
which I, among others may be
enabled to easier attain
depths of vision, strength and
understanding.
My own work is rooted, not
only in my Latin American
upbringing, but in the
collection of Russian fairy
tales my grandmother kept in
her house in Santiago, Chile.
As a teenager, it was a
logical shift when I became
interested in Kafka's stories,
which in college led me to
discover the Surrealists.
Later, I found that I had an
affinity with the fact found
within Magic Realism: that
ancient beliefs and spirits
can coexist with modern ones.
