LOBOS DE MAR
2018-present
Water is my reference and metaphorical habitat. I have been painting swimmers for many years, working with summer photo-shoots of friends and family. I ask them to swim back and forth in shallow water while I stand above with my awful camera. Bodies moving about, merging with waves, contours liquefied, patterns of light and shadow drawn across the skin...
Working in oils, sometimes acrylics, often both, repeatedly painting the same swimmers... These are portraits in that I establish a recognizable posture: an identity that goes beyond features, an kinetic attitude toward reality. Environment changes us, defines us. We incorporate aspects of it while negotiating our flow, traces embedded deeply into the fabric of our identity.
