if i am to be loved

 

but if i am to be loved
by some other 
let it be like a wild fire
let it burn my soul
let me taste the beautiful chaos
and then swallow me whole

later then
in the belly of this violent 
yet beautiful beast
let me rest in the darkness
let me battle my fears

the merging
morphing
of two naked souls
burning brightly together
like a flame
that catched it’s moth

Location: San José Province, San José, Costa Rica

'Vignette'

Image
  This one, I'm not sure why, I was just procrastinating to upload it anywhere! I think is because I don't love it, but I keep coming back to it somehow. Still, here it is. Inspired by the song Vignette, by Twenty One Pilots. Where do I go from here? Where do I go from here? Clinging to promises Fighting off the vignette Tunnels cave, visions fade Swallowed by the vignette This new album, Clancy, hit me like a brick on the face. Almost every song has a special meaning for me, but this one specifically made me cry. Around the time it came out I was (and still somewhat) fighting my way around "things that make me dizzy". And how much I crave them.  And before I started this painting I had a thought of how I "need to be vulnerable" at least with my paintings. It's really hard for me to accept something's wrong, and asking for help, or maybe even just communicating it. So I guess this painting was me putting the song, and my feelings, in a canvas. "...

Piedad - 2024

 No se ni por donde empezar... Piedad. Creada entre Enero 23 - Mayo 14, 2024. Alrededor de 12 noches. Pintura Acrílica. 100x70cm. Inspirada en Pietà, by  William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Estos ultimos dos años, la violencia y el machismo en Costa Rica se han disparado. Da miedo. Da rabia e impotencia. Da deseperanza. Y siento que para muchas personas, para muchos hombres cis hetero, es demasiado facil simplemente mirar a otro lado. Cómo no? Si no les afecta personalmente. Para las personas en poder, las instituciones en poder, para les incluso policias, es tan facil simplemente agregar un número mas a la lista... Y luego ir, y persignarse en frente de "Dios".  Queria mostrarles el dolor de frente. Que lo vean. Vean el sufrimiento que causa su ignorancia. El sufrimiento que causan sus instituciones, su presidente, sus chistes, sus creencias. Costa Rica católica, lloran por Jesus cada semana santa... escuchan los gritos de María... Pero quiénes son las verdaderas víctimas? Quien...

"Do you see? I see..." - 2024

Image
 I guess it's hard to explain... There's a moment when you start to see patterns... you see how many things, actions, words, feelings, are connected. How so many of your friends are going through exactly the same challenges you face, just different scenarios. How people always leave, for some new ones to come. How everything dies and is reborn. And blooms again. And in the end everything will be okay.... In my head this painting was born as "practice for oil painting", my 2nd ever oil painting. Done between December 3rd - January 3rd, 2024. In 7 nights. 40x30cm. ***This painting is already sold*** Thank you for watching!
