About this style / Acerca de este estilo

This style is not very common in my art.  Most of my abstract work was created between the years of 2000 and 2003, with very few created as far back as 1979, and few more in the years following 2003.

I am not sure what led me to create abstract work, though I can assure you there's a great deal of intensity in a work that relies in colors and textures to convey an emotion.  The two most intense pieces are these below:

Bleeding Heart
Bleeding Heart
2002
Airstrikes
2003

Bleeding Heart is perhaps the most heart wrenching abstract work that I've ever created.  It is a painting created, literally, with tears.  If you look closely at the image you'll see the marks left by tears that fell as I created it (some were added as an afterthought).

Airstrikes was created the day the United States of America invaded Iraq.  As the US destroyed the infrastructures of that sovereign nation, I kept wondering why were we there. Look closely and behind the blood splatter and the fire sparks you'll see a city in ruins.
