Artist Statement for Aristides Aleman
|
|
|
I had a master who believed even in the academy
and this in my opinion determined that
none of my characters be mislead by the
actual fashionable abstraction concepts.
As a human being, fact of flesh and blood, with desires,
sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste and all the other
senses alas undiscovered, I stumble over and
over upon the temptation of the senses,
the irresistible seduction of beauty.
Perhaps with well-worn subjects as is the
mythology, I become part of a list of men
who have walked upon the earth and have
rejoiced wallowing on her.
I consider myself more a sketcher than an artist,
with a pencil in hand I can create and erase.
I love the fell of the paper
and more if on the drawing curly hair
seems to dance with the wind.
I wonder if it would be to much to mention
that I enjoy mixed techniques,
the combination of acrylic, engraving, repousse, ink
and all which I may discover
in my moments of contemplation.
The purpose of my work is to
perhaps make others feel how much
I love life and due to this my
characters are the idealization of the
same, without forgetting that “ideal”
is not reality but a
platonic whisper.
I believed an respect that “every head is a world”
and due to the subjection of taste;
if the nudity of my world dos not fit in
the ideology of another, again as always
I shall feel the sun on my skin,
feel and gather up the ground with my hands,
drink water and look my reflection on it,
assuring me that I’am of this world,
of the world of senses.
