Over
the years as my images and subjects have changed along with mediums
and techniques; I have found that more than anything, humanity is
the driving force in my work. The fact that I was born in Cuba,
the quick loss of innocence I experienced as a young person in a
foreign place, learning a new language, and growing up without my
immediate family will always affect my work; sometimes more obviously
than others. The politics that have made me an outsider intrigue
me since they are almost always present, yet out of my control.
The human condition, our fragile existence on this planet, the way
we relate, love, isolate, and unnecessarily damage ourselves and
the world we live in are fascinating topics, no matter how they
are ultimately expressed. I am influenced by balance, perceived
symmetry, alter-egos, architecture, growth & decay, weathered beauty,
and sexuality. |
