- Well here I am in Philadelphia,
and the arts scene is amazing. While miss my beautiful
Providence, I will continue to exhibit there and
maintain my ties with my friends and artist crew
until I can return - (si Dios quiere.)
While in the past
I have mostly exhibited my paintings, I have been
very involved in capturing my vision through photography.
I have been inspired by non-posed portraits of
people, as it captures the exact expression of
the subject as it is. Specifically, I am fascinated
by capturing candid moments of various Latino
cultures. I view my photography as a documentation
of a portion of Latin American history, most particularly
in urban settings. On another level, I aim at
expressing narratives through stories of immigrants
who leave so much behind, bringing only memories,
and cultural pride. I am always moved by their
ability to adapt to different environments. I
want people to see the reality of the poorer classes
and how they live, often creatively, and striving
for a brighter future.
Besides photography,
I have continued to paint, and have done hundreds
of Black and White drawings. Recently, I even
created my first Black and White painting. Additionally,
I have been busy decorating my new apartment with
wall to wall art, (!) preparing for my first Philly
exhibit, and responding to the letters and drawings
that I receive from children. Thanks to all who
spread the love!
