I love to deconstruct the views of our everyday world as this is the way my eyes interpret life. Life is Beautiful. Life is Art.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Every piece I create tells a unique and interesting story that draws from my experiences growing up in Perú. I allow color, texture, value and contrast to interweave harmoniously to establish a feeling and stimulate your senses. Highly textured pieces fill a void in many of us, so I give sensory stimulation a forefront as I want my work to be touched if the viewer has the need to do so.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature; I paint moments of my life and capture the essence of the colors, images and feelings. My work reflects my feelings at that moment of creation. I allow those feelings to overtake me when creating a piece, and they dictate my choices throughout the process. It is my intention that every piece I create, helps you to see and/or feel how beautiful and complex life is.
What would you do with $25,000?I would have a solo show in which I can continue to engage individuals with my vision of giving sensory stimulation a forefront. I will continue to promote my Peruvian culture through my artwork, and take people on this journey of self discovery as my work unfolds in front of their eyes.
