ART STATEMENT


Art is like the ekstasies of the Greeks, in the sense of, "staying outside and beyond the self," where the conjunction of the present, past and future are synonyms of eternity.
Being this mysterious triad, the ethereal muse of my inspiration and exaltation towards the truth that life itself carries within its own soul, and to that silent death who, "lives incarnated," in the physical and psychical nature of inorganic and organic matter. Producing out of these polarities or complements, the scientific or religious immersion at the moment the finitude of the organic world in its different stages, creation, preservation, decomposition and disintegration is veiled. Where these biological, philosophical, or religious symbols are the convergence of axioms, theories and dogmas in myself, therefore to my art.

Being this truth, what induces my inspiration to rise to a more utopic self within the individuality and originality in the style-quality factor exalted in my works to the present day, where the same anxiety co-exist in the cyclic superiority and internal refinement that only the future can mature. This self-imposed goal is what my will undertakes to fulfill more determined and complex works of art.

It is my wish to express the slow process of integration as explorer of my genetic art, where the symbols, colors, forms, time and space are primordial philosophies in this special cosmic language as is Art itself, where universal matter is the alchemy, and the art instruments are the medium to invoke the eckstasies to its own expression, where the art-ascendant sphere demands perfection in the consecution of all art works, and where the transcendence of truth in its own mysticism is needed as the key for the artist, poet or philosopher to complete or execute the works to its superlative degree, within an historical context of the aesthetic science.
