Artist Statement:
My work is influenced by
diverse Cuban and American
cultural references; from
fashion magazines to billboard
images, Latin Jazz riffs to
Afro-Cuban rhythms,
advertising symbols and
elements experienced in daily
life.
In my installations and
paintings I create layer upon
layer of images to express the
world around me. A word or
phrase from a piece of music,
billboard images, and found
objects contrast and
complement each other in the
same composition. I am
interested in capturing these
images with the same velocity
and spontaneity as when I
first encountered them.
Elements and memories from my
Cuban heritage are also woven
throughout my work. Layers
of images and colors are
constructed in a
stream-of-consciousness manner
to reflect the diversity and
speed of our daily experiences
in an urban landscape. As one
goes through the day one
filters out many of these
occurrences and associations.
In my work I do not use this
filter, I consider all the
possibilities.
