Hi! Jose here!
welcome to my journey.
My work study the complex intersectionality of evolving society; I explore the evolution of interdependence that emerge from our intertwinement. my compositions are a thought-provoking metaphors that alludes our collective nature of coexisting.
I'm a self taught artist, born in Dominican Republic, I originate the process of the different mediums used on my compositions; on my early age I worked as automotive body repairer, I went to craft school where I became an artisan working with leather, bones, horns, and carpentry. the process of creating the mixed mediums are a rumination marked by my experience of craftsmanship.
Reeding about the human psyche, and history; traveling to different countries and immigrating to the US have influenced my work profoundly, forging the essences of the theories that that embolden my compositions. since I started drawing as a teenager my early works were based on imitating images from art history books, CD' covers, comics and news paper prints; then I started combining different images and customize them, I wanted to create of my own comic book using this images that I modified, the results of that was very compelling to me, That’ s how I started on my creative journey of documenting my thought through my compositions. over the time my work has evolved into a way of expression creating philosophical metaphors of ideas I want to unfold; which start with the conception of one concern I want to communicate, then emerge into a dialogue of continual themes, I enjoy the dialogue created on each of my rhapsody.
