Everyone has an idea of living on a desert island in the sun living off of fish and coconuts for free. I really Lived that way for a decade in the 80's.

There is always a trigger, a reason (or it should be) why an art piece comes about. Sometimes it's a heart reason, sometimes it's a brain reason, but once in a while it's something bigger than the heart and brain put together and it can't be ignored (...which it's never that horrible until it happens to you...)
In a spur of a moment I decided to promote on Instagram my recently finished piece titled "SDED-XXX." To promote an image actually translates to, being willing to pay a few bucks to Instagram to show the picture worldwide (instead of just locally and to followers). To my surprise, the image is CENSURED, and the promotion is denied [because—and this is the good part, "It promotes adult paraphernelia and sex toys!"] Minutes later, after I gave them a piece of my mind, the promotion was approved but the disbelief, anger, and surprise were still there, so I took all that energy and created this Cens – 08122020 piece. More than anything, I wanted to be a reminder that the big brother is watching (even if it's just a stupid bot for now!) and the artistic freedom we enjoy is only seconds away from being denied to all of us...
The piece was inspired by many of my favorite artists like Mel Bochner, John S. Fawcett, Agostino Bonalumi among many others. The work lives at many levels and dimensions, and just the surface of the canvas is not enough to express complex feelings in the 21st century. The letters jump above and below the canvas' plane drawing an explosion of bright colors that are meant to warn us of the dangers to come... even if at the present time they look innocent and benign.

This is a shoot I put a lot of effort into with my friend in my class. The flowers symbolize femineity and power, and the colors of pink and blue are the binaries.

Because John Lewis was such an inspiring man, it was very easy to find inspiration while painting him. This is an 8" X 8" Oil painting.
