Artist Statement

I work to contribute to the visual conversations of our time.

I create art as a visual diary of my life.

I want my work to achieve a moment for the viewer, where their perceptions may be changed. Work that forces them to reflect on where they are, where they go, what they find and who they become in the process.

I create art as my 'joie de vivre' and a 'joie de vivre' for others.

I create art to free myself and in finding my freedom, can the viewer find that as well.

I find inspiration in endeavors that communicate meaningful visual messages, using whatever medium is the most appropriate .

I received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and currently live and work in Long Island City

 
 
     

About Urban Dialogues©

Sonia Gil and I started this global art collaboration in 2009, in order to work together with artists around the world and create public art projects. Urban Dialogues©, has been using Internet technologies to create virtual art collaborations.

All Urban Dialogues© artists approaches are distinct, yet complimentary, capturing the contradictions of our individual and collective histories, the present and the future, reflective of today's new era of global engagement and technologies.
