My artist
Statement
My art
passion and converged with several faces in yourself, especially when I refer
to memories and fantasies, always taking as a starting point my endless
revelations dreamlike aesthetic submitting a proposal that allows the balance
between form and color hierarchies throughout its length, leaning on the many
manifestations of the senses. This is demonstrated by my series of drawings
depicting the absurdity of dreams and irrationalities of genuine feelings that
come from my subconscious inherited uncontrollable thoughts, expressed through
form, color, light and shadow, this is my artist statement.
Pesadilla
This work of
art "Nightmare", which I made in 1995, the name says it all ...,
expresses a truth reflected in its figure ... because it represents all the
nightmares that Cubans are living for more than half a century, nightmare put
in the shadow of the first commandment of human beings, freedom of expression
and thought, also reflects the progressive destruction of cities, the ecosystem
and society at large, the dramatic situation in my country for many years. This
artwork came with me to the United States because to me it has a special
meaning. It's the logo for my business as an artist, logo of my websites, as in
http://lorenzo-muriedas.artistwebsites.com ..., my blog and everything that has
to do with my artwork. It is the only piece I have of all my works of art that
was created in Cuba ... It has been a great inspiration to continue my creative
work. This piece is not for sale because I use it as a logo for my business,
but if anyone is willing to give me a good offer for this piece I might take it
into consideration.
In a very
modest and humble way I’ve created this blog paying close attention to all the
details to get the result that all of you deserve. You can see all my work
including the ones that have been sold. You can also buy copies, posters,
acrylic and greeting cards from my paintings that have been purchased. This
blog contains my work from all these years living in the U.S.A. These paintings
have been exposed in different galleries and have been created using different
techniques like watercolor, ink, pastel, oil, and acrylic. All of them also
have different textures that focus on my very own surrealist feelings, and are
a reflection of a very beautiful but complicated life for all human beings in
the earth. I’ve tried to show in my work all manifestations and dilemmas of
humanity. I also have some Cuban landscapes trying to get away from the
schematic classical style by using primary colors in their purest way,
emphasizing colors like red and blue. In all these landscapes I’ve tried to
show the “campina cubana” image that I have in my mind even though I was not
born in there, but it is a very vivid image of me due to all of my trips to “la
escuela al campo” during middle and high school. Now I work at home as American
Artist in Miami.
This is my
Artist Statement.
