THE WORLD THROUGH A PAIR OF EYEGLASSES…
This visible and tangible world -people, objects, or situations- hides another world that can be seen through a pair of particular glasses: my eyeglasses. Through them -and art- I attempt to rescue the satirical essence of everything around me. Pencils and brushes are my preferred tools to dissect people and events through a combination of passion and a lot of criticism. I create exaggerated shapes and lines, adding lights and shadows, to bring out the essence of my subjects, using humor as an additional means to alter –or confirm- the viewer’s perception of people or events. Some of my work is filled with intricate details, while other pieces are produced with simple pencil and brush strokes where whimsical ideas, thoughts, or concepts take precedent. Through this combination of shapes and meanings, I use art as a source of thought and laughter.

"El mundo a través de un par de gafas..." Este mundo visible, tangible –gente, objetos o situaciones- esconde otro mundo que puede ser visto a través de unos cristales muy particulares: mis espejuelos. A través de ellos -y del arte- intento rescatar lo satírico que existe en todo lo que me rodea. Lápices y pinceles son mis herramientas preferidas para disecar personas o eventos, a través de una combinación de pasión y mucho criticismo. Exagerando formas y líneas, agregando luces y sombras, busco resaltar lo esencial en mis personajes. Usando un toque de humor, como elemento adicional, busco alterar –o confirmar- la percepción que tiene el espectador sobre determinada persona o evento. Algunos de mi trabajos son realizados con intricados detalles, mientras que otros son producidos con simples trazos donde caprichosas ideas, pensamientos o conceptos toman precedente. A través de esta combinación de forma y contenido, uso el arte como fuente (generadora) de pensamiento y sonrisa.

I always look forward to your caricatures. You see it, draw it, and tell it like it REALLY is... what a concept. I wish we could get your counter parts in the Miami Herald to do the same. Keep up the good work,

Buena idea la de un blog de caricaturas donde podamos reirnos de lo que sucede a nuestro alrededor. La risa es un remedio infalible.
ReplyDeleteTe felicito

ReplyDeleteGracias por todas esas lindas palabras y gracias por el tiempo que se tomaron en visitar este sitio, que en definitiva es de ustedes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your words, they are really appreciated. If you wanna learn to draw caricatures, the first step is having four eyes... (no talking about wearing glasses... ha) or at least three. It is having an extra eye to see what we don't see with our 2-eyes. All the best... keep in touch.
