Part 1

Mark: Jose your paintings have rich, strong meaning behind the imagery and you make the simplest thing look hyper intellectualized, powerful, and mysterious.

Q: How do you select an image to paint and what are your feelings when you paint?


A: Thank you Mark. Most of the time its a past experience, and I tend to make the image more complex be adding multiple meanings to that image. To be honest I haven't really painted in a while, and that has haunted me. My life has been very chaotic, I was and still going through a period of depression. This condition has left me with with new imagery and subject matter. You might even call my absences, field research. All I can say is that each of my next paintings are going to be a unique form of personal pain.

Mark: Well, all I can say is that we can't wait to see what you create next. We'll talk tomorrow.
