About the art work:
This is a painting from a series of works created under the banner, Elements from 2012 which currently consists of twelve different works. Each painting is made from interwoven strips of canvas mounted paper, acrylic paint and sometimes other media, depending on the composition. This painting was then mounted to a flat canvas panel.
Originally stemming from my interest in vintage travel posters, I focused on well known elements to create my interpretations of travel posters for different countries and cultures. The project soon evolved to concentrate on the differences of countries and cultures that should be celebrated through theirs arts because art, as a whole, brings us together. Whether it's two-dimensional work; sculpture; literature; film; cuisine; theater and any other art form, I started to do some research on the origins of some of the art forms which I, in turn, translated as a micro journey of color and greater appreciation of each country or culture in the series.
I had the pleasure of visiting Colombia; it was a whiplash tour of five cities in seven days filled with food, drink and music and lots of dancing.. and tourist attractions.. my legs never stopped shaking until I finally returned to New York, where I was living at the time. This addition to the Elements series illustrates the beauty of the country that I remember with its orchids and butterflies; the lively accordion featured prominently in Colombia's vallenatos, popular folk music. And most importantly, fields of sugar cane, an essential ingredient in aguardiente, an anise-flavored liqueur and Colombia's national drink.
