my art creations from 2010

Sorry I never really get around to posting my art, its a lot more work than just posting pictures, I have to find the measurements, sometimes think up titles, describe and give explanations..you get the idea, I always keep delaying it...till now I have a bunch of non posted pieces, so they're all gonna have to go together. :) enjoy


"Reflejos de ausencia" (Absence reflections). May 2010. 147 x 172 cm, acrylics painting on canvas.
This is the biggest painting Ive ever done, such a challenge. When I was building the canvas I sat on top of it on the floor and was thrilled that it was so big. I love how mysterious this picture is, gives me the creeps. People stare at it and just dont get it which is why its fascinating. The big structure are mirrors reflecting the landscape.


"Nebulosa de mar" (Sea nebulose). April 2010. 100 x 130,5 cm acrylics painting on canvas. This too can give you the creeps, it has to be looked at at the right distance with the right lighting...then its incredible. PTL


"No more" Watercolor and pastel on 50 x 70 cm board.
the text says "the last golden leave is about to fall, and the last silver tear is about to be shed, and after that...no more"



Sculpture of a lamp. April 2010. This is my second sculpture pieces and I freekin love it... :) its huge and so heavy, I cant hold it, always have to get a couple guys to take it whenever I need to move it around. The making of is way to complicated to explain, but its so groovy to look at it in the dark, and the light it gives and the shadows it creates.


"Fragility" Novemver 2009
I love this.
It says so so much.
It kind of an experiment, and the making of is a secret cause its such a cool idea that if you kew how its done you'd go ahead and do it too, so Im keeping it a business secret. :)



"Stairs to Heaven" 50 x 70 cm acrylics painting on board.
The greatest thing about this painting is the story it has entangled to it. Mesmerizing, stare at it, decipher it.

United in history

painting for the Army, for a contest.

it shows the strength of the army through the unity of the soldiers throughout its history. you can see the soldiers of past times in b&w and the actual soldiers in color, all of them marching together under the same tempestuous sky.

Abstract paintings

to the music of Moby and Sigür Ross

I never had a special liking to abstract painting, but I've gotta admit it is a powerful way of expressing oneself.. not so much for the espectator tho, it's nearly impossible to understand what on earth the artist actually meant or wanted the painting to portray. Being downright subjective, theres no way to have a general view or idea about the painting that everyone shares. Each one of them would be different....and in this aspect, communication in art fails. Thus, abstract fails.

those are my 2 cents about it.

I do love it tho.

it's just so....

abstract.

Enjoy.

Spring in winter

this is how my carboard books ended up, split in two, one half outside and one half inside.

My art installation project. The idea is to relate with the space as part of the artwork in an expression of place and time. I wanted to make the trees outside go through the window and enter inside as an element of intrusion. There's a contrast of seasons spring/winter. The branches inside are safe from the cold outside and thus they are i blossom, in contraposition, the branches outside are lifeless. The coffee cups and books represent a whole feeling I wanted to portray, reflecting the "feeling safe" from the cold, while still enjoying what is outside. (I know everyone knows the feeling of "ohh its so cold and snowing outside, i just feel like cuddling up with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate/coffee. well at least I know Nic understands. there was no way to make my prof understand it though)

oh yeah, as for medium: thats a window there, to which i glued and attached to the celiing with strings real dried branches both outside and inside. The ones outside are white and have nothing while the ones inside are green with added fake leaves/flowers/butterflies. As well, there are glued carboard books painted with acrylics and your ordinary take-away coffee cup.

Litérature en couleurs

These are cardboard books, painted with acrylics, for a project.

Phone me.

"There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear..."

Clay sculpture.
The idea is portraying what a phone means to me. Besides communicating, which is what everyone thinks about when they think about a phone, for me it means a way of seeing the person on the other side..perhaps through the voice you imagine them just as if they were there.
