“Desert Tyrant.” 2022. acrylic on Canvas (16in x 20in).
I was still able to engage my creativity and thoughts as I did when I started my project and proposals. I'm able to utilize my surroundings once again to envelope my ideas in a surrealistic way. I'm experimenting with various uses of Acrylic paint with different mediums and values of it such as crackle paint and acrylic thick media. I'm utilizing texture in each painting by using gesso to make the surface pop out. My proposal consists of humans interacting with animals. I'm portraying dualism with the dominance of each species. I take the nature of the human form and transformed it into my subvert form with aspects of animal characteristics in their more elemental form. I've exaggerated the tension expressed in each human to show the tense feeling as they contributed to the interaction with each animal.

I revolve my entire life around my creativity with the way I dress, listen to music, and express my thoughts. I spend a lot of time driving to new places to find inspiration for new art pieces and new ideas by observing nature in a creative fashion.
