Artist Statement
Ever since I remember I have drawn and made art that people around me seemed to like and for me I liked making things that people enjoyed but along the way I refined it and made it my own, I also kept it to myself and at one point never thought of making this talent a way to earn money, I didn’t have anybody that made money with art so I didn’t have anyone that would inspired for more so thought of it as a hobby, that until college where I was allowed to implement my art as a professional medium with it now the world seemed different everything became an enigma on how it was made why did said person design said thing to be like that and slowly inspired me to create work like that. I started to make my art and designs more serious and more corporate; I designed my stuff to make it look for others to enjoy I slowly started losing my passion out. But as time passed and I slowly saw some signs of my signatures showing into my work, like little things that I enjoyed and saw that it wasn’t wrong to allowed myself to add things I enjoyed through my work, that’s when I decided to be more fun. I specially love the color pink, space and cute stuff, some vibes from the 80’s too. Whenever I had the opportunity I would add to it, pastel colors or round shapes are what I like the most and I think my work is slowly being shaped to be me, at this point I don’t care if people will hate or love my work what it matters the most for me is that I have fun in doing it and if people enjoy it makes it even more rewarding. My work process is all over the place, I like to see it that the idea is there but is a yarn that is very tangle to the point that seems to have no end. But once I get to it, the work to follow the other end is chaotic and more tangling exasperating to the point that I want to give up but with music and some reassurance from love ones makes the hardship a little easier, to the point of detangle the idea and at the other end see that straight yarn thought come to life and its all over again, sometimes the yarn strings look better detangle and some partly detangle but it all comes to what works best for me and others, some may not see the same idea as me and I truly value others opinion but at the end of the day is what I create is something I enjoy.
