How I paint...
The pictures below show the evolution of several paintings and the spaces they emerged in. Scroll further down for a brief bio. I paint by hand, almost exclusively with acrylics.
Thou Art That
Creation's an adventure into the unknown
The Beloved is Ever-Blossoming Creativity,
and guess what, it made you, it is you,
and you are it: Tat Tvam Asi.
Remember this first, then jump in and flow with it
Be brave... it can be frightening, it can touch you deep and freak you out
Play around, delight, experiment, open your heart
and try to stay out of that head of yours.
Just look at this beautiful thing.
Have fun.
Bring your pain, your awe, your shame, your joy.
Bring your love.
I was born and spent much of my childhood in Uruguay, South America before emigrating to Canada. I have no formal training in how to paint. I started 2002 by simply picking up a brush and some acrylic paints and just diving in... Painting has taught me about the unfolding of things, what that process looks like, how something we call beautiful can come from something we call ugly. It has taught me about residing in the moment and flowing with journey and process rather than getting caught up in destination and product, about how to breathe and really see what's there, how your mind doesn't reflect reality, only a caricature of it. About how we and Creation are one and the same, and the magic that can happen when we are able to let go and allow the emergence of beauty.
