Artist Statement for Noel Nieva Villafuerte
|
|
|
In this continuous searching and learning,
I could achieve peace and harmony. My hope is that my artistic expression transcends and bridges the balance between life’s constant dualities.
While I am wildly passionate about my painting, relishing the fact that I was born to be an artist, I readily accept a title of an artist-entrepreneur, not hiding the fact that my art also can and should be viewed as a worthy investment. This attitude is reflected in the development of my company, Studio 2010.
While I choose not to tie myself to a particular artistic current or movement, I view the great works of Guston, Pollock, de Kooning, Kandinsky and Picasso as elements of inspiration and influence.
Another aspect of my creative process entails a meditation, where I simply try to become one with my artwork. I put aside all preconceived ideas of how a painting should be constructed and discard any worry of such elements as composition, perspective and lighting. Unlike my other artwork, where the general colours and composition are determined well before I start to paint, in my meditation process, I try to create an emptiness within me to make place for my art -- to be able to hear it. It is like a conversation, where the exchange takes place between the canvas and the colours, with the aid of each touch and stroke.
