Another memory of Madrid(Spain) where I lived for 16 years. “El Paseo de la Castellana” is the central big multi-lane avenue in Madrid running north-south/south-north(like Park Avenue in New York City) ending(or beginning) at the 2 major train stations Atocha and Chamartin. “La Castellana” depicts a busy intersection (probably close to “Plaza de Colon”)seen from above in the way I see things.
A big “THANK YOU ” to my 4 collectors who make my life a whole lot easier, much more pleasant and with your support I can continue to create. (you know who you are so I don’t have to mention your names! Besides being ‘anonymous’ has it’s advantages sometimes)
You have “vision”, culture, great taste and most of all you do not rely on the opinions of “others” in the twisted “art world”( wishy-washy curators, gallery owners and half witted critics) when buying my work. You understand the value because you understand the importance of good art in our brutal “philistine” culture/world where my art plays a counter part. Thank you!
This is the semi-side back view of “Headdress for the Divine Benevolent.” It’s like Cinderella’s shoe: it will fit only the person to whom it is intended. I made this for my girlfriend for her birthday, only to wear for ceremonies, of course. Visionary.
Here are just 5 angles of this cool headdress. There are so many more. To wear it you must be a divine benevolent or at least aspire to be one!
My art always seems to look like comic or cartoon-ish versions of ideas that I carry with me all the time. I often ask myself the question if what I do is the work of an imbecile or the opposite. This object shows what I meant in the last sentence! The bottom plywood pieces are 19 “Golden Rectangles”, the size relating to the height of the cedar.

* This strange object depicts the title: Dyslexia-Separation-Rejection.(I wrote “DYSLEXIKA”…) -The story of my life, since I’m dyslexic. But this has advantages (sometimes) because I get to see the world in a different way.
I’m showing a super close-up of the lower left overpopulated area close to the sea Of the painting from 2013 “Cartography, Organic, Random”. Originally I wanted to cover the whole painting with over-populated zones but that would have taken the rest of my mental sanity.
