“Changes IX”

It was initially inspired by the observance of a utility van with a business signed pasted to the door. As I observed the sign I noticed that it had worn out with the original words and image faded. My mind was taken to the initial time when the sign had been placed on the vehicle and along with the dreams of the owner looking to fulfill them through his business. The condition of the sign was showing the wear of years of pushing to fulfill the goals, dreams and aspirations of self employment along with the freedom and also the responsibilities and burdens that it brings.

This train of thoughts took me to my own life situations and those that many of us passing through this amazing thing called life go through. With these thoughts I set out to work on a series of pieces that would express this concept of starting with dreams and either seeing them fulfill or come to naught.

Below is a short video showing the finished painting. Also here is a link to other finished similar pieces.

Work in Progress: Changes.

Still a bit to go. It was initially inspired by the observance of a utility van with a business signed pasted to the door.

Death Never Stops

A fish constructed from bold colors and transparent skeletal form defies expectations while revealing unity. Where rich purple bones encounter the bright orange body, two aspects converge. On the left, muted blues and soft textures suggest a layered quality, while the right introduces structured polka dots against a lighter blue, conveying playfulness and order. Light and color merge effectively, with shadows and highlights enhancing contrast. As future viewers experience this contrast, will they perceive a metaphor for transformation or a playful exploration of form and color? This depiction invites ongoing discoveries and connections.

A continuation of the series of Changes, this piece is titled Death Never Stops refereeing to how all living beings will eventually face death. There is no place to run or hide from Death.

Changes IV

Emerging as a center of cultural discourse, this creation charms with its complex arrangement of lozenge shapes cascading from warm caramel into cool olive tones. The repeating patterns reflect motifs often found in decorative designs, while the rich violet overlay disrupts and tantalizes the viewer’s perception. This delicate arrangement of color and form aligns with themes of continuity and change, suggesting broader societal narratives. How might this fusion of textures and hues prompt a new lens through which to view the world? This piece encourages consideration of the blend of tradition and modernity, portraying the essence of transformation within a structured cosmos.

Changes III

A cascade of geometric shapes seemingly drift from the top, transitioning from turquoise to a warm golden hue. The careful arrangement of these squares creates a gradient effect against a rich maroon backdrop, suggesting gradual transformation. Viewers may question the tension and balance within this structured chaos, as it defies typical symmetrical order. This composition challenges perceptions, allowing for an appraisal of both its precision and disorder. The result is a visually tactile experience, where a relationship of color and form gently unfolds, enveloping observers in the complexity of its design.

Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?

“Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?” “Estas ciego que no puedes ver la diferencia?”

This piece was inspired by an episode of Star Trek that I saw back in the 1970s. The episode is The Last Battlefield S3 #15.  It dealt with a planet in which the citizens had been at war with each other for thousands of years. The difference apparently was which side of the face was black and which was white.  This show left a lasting impression on me.  And here we are more than 50 years later and it seems that nothing has changed.  We as a nation seem to still be in conflict with each other and any new immigrants. 

The painting is trying to bring attention, as the show that inspired it to how much we are alike and deep down we are all looking and dreaming the same things.  Only superficial differences is what makes us feel we are different.

Colorado Beauties

A vivid and colorful piece of contemporary art depicts three bright blue butterflies positioned against a backdrop that combines a yellow checkered grid with a patchwork of small, irregularly-shaped blue and yellow squares. Additional decorative elements, including red, yellow, and blue circles and dots, are interspersed throughout the composition. The title of the piece, "Colorado Beauties," suggest it is an acrylic painting on canvas and evokes a sense of freedom, serenity, and hopeful possibility through its dynamic color scheme and the symbolic representation of butterflies.
