My Work:
This page shows my work as part of the IB Art program at school. During this program we explored many different techniques, styles, and concepts (including Impressionism, Environmental Art, Image Appropriation, and many others) that are presented below.
My Projects
STRUM (acrylics on canvas)
The first project I made for this course was a free project. In it, I decided to represent a guitar being played by a person. I tried to alter the real proportion and colors of both the guitar and the hands because I wanted to represent the connection between a simple object, such as a guitar, and the incredible, almost magical, products that can be created through its use. Indeed, I tried to show more than just the object and convcentrated on the different feelings that can be channeled through a guitar, which are represented by the different colors I used.
I also chose to keep the image impersonal by abstaining form adding a face to whomever is playing the guitar, therefore making the image more universal. Music, I believe, should be open to all who wish to learn form it, and while this image may represent a more generalized view of what music may mean, it is also a personal view of what music has been to me.

CARRILLO I (oil pastels on cardboard)
Making this project was a real challenge. It included two elements that were fairly new for me: the first, drawing someone else's portrait, and the second, using oil pastels. Even though this was only the second project we did for the course, it was the hardest in terms of media. I have to say that I am not particularly happy with the final result of this project: the face has some irregularities and is disproportionate, and it does not resemble the actual subject as closely as I would have liked it to. However, it was definitely helpful in learning the basics of using oil pastels and of drawing and painting from observation.
