“Javier”
Five feet square, three inches deep
Oil paint on Baltic Birch
I am a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina. I spent those years traveling Central and South America, falling in love with the people, the culture, and the landscape. Most of my time traveling is spent documenting 'information' with the use of digital cameras, digital sound recordings, sketchbooks, and note-taking — on any and all museum pamphlets and hand outs. I work in the mediums of oil paint, graphite, digital imaging, and mixed media. My favorite format is large scale; many pieces being composed on multiple panels ranging in size, with a total linear footage of 50 feet and more. “Javier” is a classically painted portrait done in oil paint, paying particular attention to the archival classic techniques of paint transparencies, translucencies and opacities.
