About The Artist

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I am a young artist in an Independent Study Mentorship class, and am studying studio art. I've studied Advanced Projects 2D, 3D and 4D at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago over the summer, and have hopes to obtain a future career as a professional artist or graphic designer. Last spring I was a state and gold seal winner at the Visual Arts Scholastic Event.

I've always been interested fine arts, however it was my enrollment in a physics class that led me on a quest to reconcile two unseemingly similar mediums: art and science. The two are not so different as one may think. Throughout history the artist has attempted to describe his world conceptually with visual mediums, just as the scientist attempts to explain conceptual theories in physical reality. As Leonard Shlain states: "Art anticipates scientific revisions of reality." Both are languages, both attempt to explain reality, and both are most certainly beautiful. This project focuses on building a bridge between art and science as two mediums of expression. The works will be shown at the Centro Cultural Atzlan building in the Deco District of San Antonio, Tx on May 4th, 2007.

Bit of a break...

(image from physical log, I brainstorm alot.)

Took a bit of a break due to the holidays and am now contemplating my next set. I will probably incorporate texture seeing as it is a good dimension to begin exploring with the "style" (abstraction) that was determined from the last set.

I have not done alot of abstract work in my studies, nor have I made textural paintings and I think this project is going to lead me into some new directions. Recently I have realized that with this project I am a prisoner to the norm. As an artist the only decisions I can make regarding my paintings are mechanical, or compositional. I can only choose from a series of rules that I have placed upon myself as regulated by the public through bidding. In this project the artist is removed from the artistic process and takes on the act of producing rather than creating. It is interesting to disect the components of a painting with selective restraint, and in a sense I have given my soul to the devil of the public. Such can be a metaphor for life itself, for society or religion.
