EXPRESSION IS ABOUT

The theme for this piece, Planets in Motion, stems from my life long concern and interest in the origins and mysteries  of  the Universe, its  billions of galaxies,stars, planets, humans......how we evolved from apes.... I like titles and I don't for several reasons, the main one is, abstract work for most people is hard to understand,  so people tend to  look for things, ....  for hidden meanings, as if it were a puzzle or  something to solve or to figure out. Abstraction is not narrative like  literature, its poetic and  abstract painting is more like its sister in the arts, Music, which is concerned more with feeligs and emotions,being spontaneous and direct. Real abstraction is an event. In  the world of creativity  every moment is different as it ,changes  and does not repeat itself. My geometric paintings are a valuable learning source, my way to study, experience the basic creative process, and ...

 In ancient cultures around the planet geometry was reveered and some considered it sacred.              I am documenting some stages this painting has been through. Repetition is an interesting concept, I use it in my work to reenforce shapes and to create  patterns, movement and  rhythm. The source comes from free form improvisation inspired by jazz. I like geometry because I like structure, as the foundation of certain genres  of mimimalist  painting, and  other disciplines like, architecture, ingeneering  and some of the  the sciences, and  much like what happens in a bridge, by repetition of form strenth is created. Asymetry, is another concept I incorporate in my geomertrical pieces giving  them a dynamism and   tension I find interesting.

Abstract Expressionism's emotional intensity and spontaneity, with its bold approach, loose use of brush work and ,with  lots of  freedom to: drip, collage, mix ,experiment etc..... and do  whatever  personal symbology  dictates,  is what attracted me to  paint the way I do at the present.

                                                            Cubism, fragmentation and geometry have  always  fascinated me. Studying the picture plane and what happens between a line, a shape and color in a painting is a journey unto itself of incredible findings and wonderful surprises.                                                 Composition in Black, White and Grey                                                       Acrylic on MDF  (diptych)                             ...

I love the elegant, simple geometric shapes and colors. Less is more.    25-v-2012 Ok, ok, it’s not like I know much about Art.  So when I put one of Gabo’s paintings in my little apartment in Querétaro (my post-25 year marriage man cave) I thought, oh how nice I have something pretty to put on the wall.  Or at least something more classy than some Mexican esquina artist painting of stereotypical Mexican street scene with the flowers in the windows and dude with a huge straw hat walking uphill in the narrow cobble street of "real" Mexico.  And maybe even something to impress the chics, you know, like “Hey, baby I have an original Sencial in my living room, want to see it?”  But I’m sort of getting the id...
