My artwork is
a conceptual fusion of opposite cultural realities that I have experienced
in my lifetime. I integrate diverse elements from pre-Columbian mythology,
Western religious iconography, and American popular culture. The art becomes
a product of collisions between historical visions, ancient and modern, marginal
and dominant paradigms—a thesis and an anti-thesis that end in a synthesis
in the mind of the viewer. Often, the result is a nonlinear narrative with
many possible interpretations. Depending on the specific content, I choose
to work with different media: painting, drawing, printmaking, video animation,
or installation. |
