One of a kind acrylic and ink block on canvas paper. Growing up in New York City, I was exposed to the visual clash of graffiti, decaying walls, torn-up ads and the effect that time and the elements have on surfaces. My surroundings and a fascination with the abstract NYC expressionism movement played a major role in me becoming an artist. For me abstract art opened the door into an intimate journey into the psyche, never questioning thoughts, but working from pure emotion and physical energy. This search most recently led me into shadow work and ultimately inner child work. To my surprise, the child archetype revealed that my fascination with walls didn't start in New York, but in the war torn streets of Masaya, Nicaragua. Las Paredes de Cal (lime plaster walls) have become more than a reference, but a metaphor for my life.
