The showing is called: Querer Es Poder: The Power of Dreams. Querer Es Poder is a Spanish expression with several meanings. To English speakers it’s usually translated as ‘If you can dream it, you can do it,’ but that really doesn’t cover the nuances of the expression. To me, it means, ‘Desire is power; there is power in dreaming.’I believe that, first and foremost, art is communication. As such, the communication is incomplete unless and until the art finds an audience; that’s why I am so grateful to you for allowing me to hang my work in your restaurant. In my paintings, I try to create fertile ground for the viewer to see more than what’s on the surface. Other images lurk beneath the many layers of transparent color and I’m always thrilled when I see someone staring and then pointing at one of my pieces.
All of the pieces in the show were created in the last year and reflect two goals I had in 2012: to work BIGGER and to create drama with white space. I am pleased with the result and love the way the paintings on the long wall work together to create an ambiance. They look so much better on your wall than they do on my website!
