I am a self taught Chicano artist currently based in Portland, OR. I work with acrylic paint on canvas, primarily in an abstract expressionist style, but enjoy experimenting with any and all styles. My art is always vibrant, and sometime explosively violent. My newest series is quite soft in comparison. I skipped the primer and soaked each canvas in water before painting, letting the paint soak into the fibers, and run with the water as it dried. I used my hands exclusively, rubbing the paint into the canvas until it feathered and blended. The result is an incredibly soft surface texture, smooth rounded forms, and deeply rich color.
