Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?

“Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?” “Estas ciego que no puedes ver la diferencia?”

This piece was inspired by an episode of Star Trek that I saw back in the 1970s. The episode is The Last Battlefield S3 #15.  It dealt with a planet in which the citizens had been at war with each other for thousands of years. The difference apparently was which side of the face was black and which was white.  This show left a lasting impression on me.  And here we are more than 50 years later and it seems that nothing has changed.  We as a nation seem to still be in conflict with each other and any new immigrants. 

The painting is trying to bring attention, as the show that inspired it to how much we are alike and deep down we are all looking and dreaming the same things.  Only superficial differences is what makes us feel we are different.

New Painting: Florida Bay Night Sky

The image shows a creatively divided painting with an upper scene of a purple night sky, populated by stars of yellow, orange, pink, and blue hues, as well as a predominant yellow moon located towards the upper left. Below, a contrasting scene presents a green field resembling an undersea environment, where a linear formation of silver tarpons swims from the left to the right side of the painting. The fish feature purple bodies with silver scales, and their fins and tails are tipped with bright orange and blue, respectively, adding to the whimsical nature of the artwork.

La Femme au Cafe la Nuit

The image is a painted portrait of a woman with fair skin and blond hair. It is inspired by the Night Cafe by Vincent van Gogh. She is depicted with a serious expression, looking straight ahead. The woman is wearing a dark blue top with a high blue collar. Colors and circular geometric shapes in shades of blue form a necklace around her neck. The portrait is set against a green gradient background, framed by a decorative, colorful border featuring patterns in blue, teal, orange, yellow, and black.

16″x20″ Acrylic on Canvas

Recent work available to purchase on the galleries that represent my work online.

The above image is called “Tidal Pool” 18×24 Acrylic on Canvas. It is inspired by my time in the seashores of the Florida Keys, Key Biscayne, Mattheson Hammock, and Homestead Bayfront Park. Is a continuation of my recent work with dwindling ecosystems and the effects they have on the inhabitants of these environments.

I’m simplifying the forms a bit since I believe my audience has a common knowledge of what many of these marine animals look like. At the same time is not truly important to me doing a ultrarealistic interpretation, that is not my goal I’m more interested in portraying these environments in the most beautiful way possible. This is similar in both design and thought process “Don’t Get Triggered By The Goggle Eyes” Hope you enjoy.
