My work concentrates on the examination of cultures through the process of language. The work develops a thin line of ambiguity through abstraction that has allowed me to study in detail, the various complex forms, colors and verbs that can belong to a specific culture. The paintings, drawings, and installations therefore are documentations or notation of this research. The approach can alter from one study to another in order to give each form or verb a particular identity. This is intentional so the viewer can acknowledge the picture as individual studies of iconography within a culture, attaching anthropomorphism to each particular form. Therefore, it is very important to see the work as a classification of individuals that justifies the structure of that study. Giving each form, mark, color, line, dimension of surface, and plastic surface (medium) an identity allows me to dictate a personality to these “character forms” that are created by means of hybrids of cultures. My interest lies in proposing a “language” but not explaining one. This process shaped a narrative quality to the work, almost the feeling of a stage, where I am the puppeteer. My professional goals are aimed at being able to show my “notations” to as many people as possible in an attempt to learn more about myself and society.
