OIL ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
BASED ON A DREAM I USE TO HAVE ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
I USE TO HAVE THE SAME DREAM ABOUT 5 TO 6 YEARS IN A ROW AS A CHILD.
EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE I WOULD HAVE IT.
IT WAS BASICALLY A NIGHTMARE ABOUT A GIFT THAT WAS SO SMALL,SAY A JEWELRY SIZE BOX-LIKE A RING BOX.
IT WAS UNDER THE TREE.
BUT THE PROBLEM WAS--I COULD NOT MOVE IT--OR OPEN IT-
IT FELT LIKE IT WEIGHED A MILLION POUNDS-BUT HOW COULD THAT BE WHEN THE BOX WAS NO BIGGER THAN 3 INCHES.
THIS IS BASED ON THAT NIGHTMARE I USE TO HAVE AS A CHILD....

Ah nice work man. You have an extremely abstract painting style. It looks like nothing in this world.
I like the purpose behind it.
When I was a kid I didn't even get to sleep on Christmas eve. I was too freakin exited. Its interesting that you consecutively received the same dream for that many years.

rhyme on time, and you'll find its divine.
Then walk with the beat and you'll be one with the street.
After that just relax and drink a Pabst.

Muy interesante su anécdota, pero no creo que su cuadro refleja definitivamente solamente esta realidad.

El hecho es que sus cuadro tiene suficientemente peso para no necesitar ningún tipo de comentario o orientación. De hecho los comentarios a veces pueden distraer al vidente cuando esta inmerso en el cuadro.

Sus obras son verdaderamente singular, y lo bonito de ellas es que no solo reflejan su mundo sino también el propio mundo de los demás.

i like the insecurity and sense of fear that is transferred through the composition, colours.. really looks like you're working through your own demons somehow. good.

One of the things I love most about your art is that it fits so well with the titles you give each piece.

Re-occurring dreams....reminds me of one I had as a child whenever I was ill - quite different from yours, but terrifying as well. My father had an old book his father had given him which was about the times of the Vikings (we're Danish) and had awful illustrations. One was of a war horse galloping headlong towards the reader...and that was what I dreamt about. Can still see it, as you can obviously see yours.
