Art is not about staying within the l i n e S.
Art goes beyond that. El arte no conoce fronteras. Desafiando normas es inevitable. Art is about inventing and reinventing. El arte is about expression, emotion and revealing an untold story. La expresión e imaginación takes many different forms and shapes. The art I perform is soothing to the senses, but it can also be lashing to the heart. El arte que creo provoca sentimientos de compasión, esperanza, amor, al igual que nostalgia, desesperación y coraje. Mi arte no es para complacer, si no para incomodar al individuo. Es sobre retar el pensamiento crítico. I create art through various modes: dramatic interpretations, performances, actuación, escritos, paintings y creación. Healing and growth es parte del proceso. Art is an avenue to myself, to you and to the rest of the world. With our mural, it is art with a purpose. A purpose to reveal the dedication, and work that came with its creation. The friendships and connections made throughout its installation, and as a timeless, permanent symbol of community, culture, history, and ultimate pride for all those who see it. The thinking process that came with its formulation can truly be displayed by its design, and like a quote each person has the right to freely interpret our work of art. |
