Title: Monigote, 2021

Signed in front and signed dated and titled in the back.

Size: 14x17 inches


I created a unique process where I paint by hand directly into different types of blank photo papers using water color inks and some other unconventional household chemicals. Mixing them creates physical reactions that are instantly registered in the paper. The result is a painting with so much sharpness tonal gradation depth of field and flowing movement that resembles the work of Nature.


I don't use a camera digital printer or any other form of reproduction. Each painting is one of a kind.
Intrigued? I invite you to watch my video clips for a visual understanding of the medium that I am working with. My use of unusual materials and chemicals makes this process very complicated to explain and I find easier to relay on the viewer watching some of my videos.
