Cardinals Screen



Nature and Birds, Colors and Textures, brunches and Trees.
That seems to be my current inspiration.
As the birds came to the feeders that we have in our garden as my imagination capture them for ever in a fest of dance and music that last for ever!
This is a piece done on recycled doors. Screen that will horld for ever the sound of the wins on my birds flying around!

Recent Watercolor




Inspired by the Spring that you can face now, and by my remembers of the last one in Manhattan and the views of Central Park and the Hudson River Bank, I am creating a series of Medium Size Watercolors.

First Winter and Mixed Watercolors













My First Winter in Connecticut...was hard to see!
All that beauty and transformation of nature around me!
All those snow storm that we had that years...birds migrating, trees resting for a long winter night!I started to collect maps, and some others organic elements that I incorporated to my papers and then painted on the top of them!
It was such a creative and fun process to me!
Changing my life and my work too!
I remember...going to the Train Station in New London and taking maps for free there. Back to the studio gluing them in pieces and painting...!
That was January 2004!

Art of Transition!




Between worlds!
That is how I can explain this works I did between 2002-2003-2004!
Living in the a house build ed of adobe in the Cordillera de Los Andes in Santiago de Chile and moving to the United States.
That was a shock to me in the way that I question myself about my whole life, my heritage, mi destiny and my mission in life.

Fiesta





I was invited to paint a piece called and about Fiesta,
So I did...

“Fiesta”
Fiesta means holiday, celebration
and party in Spanish. It is a word
that inspires this work; a word rich in
deep meanings. In Peru, my own country,there are about 3000 typical fiestas
celebrated every year. At the time of painting “Fiesta,”

I imagined bodies seduced by the senses and the music
throughout this history. I saw happiness as an abstract
concept where even contours and emotion can be seen
and this atmosphere turns the present into happiness and activity.

I did a piece and show you the process that took place for months!
You can see the layers of colors as layer of though that cross my mind too
!

Birds in my Paintings






What Birds are doing in my Paintings? Is something I don't know..
Just at some moments I have had the deep necessity of putting them in my compositions. Maybe are angels I guess, maybe just creatures that help me in my life! No idea, but they are there!
Thee works belong to different series of works and all of them have been exhibited in different parts, different years some even different medias!
But are there, Birds!
Creatures that fly as me, that immigrate as me, that are looking for a warm place as me too!

My Watercolors







I never studied watercolor...however is the most I have done in my life as a painter, I think!
At the time I studied Art in Peru and later on my later studies in Chile, nobody believe that watercolor could be a serious media for a serious artist too!
However, to me watercolor are such a wonderful medium to experiment and to create new spaces of color, texture, compositions and designs!
