WHAT’S GOING ON

cristybalp — Sat, 17 May 2008 15:59:54 +0000

……..

There is project brewing in my mind in regards to this blog.

It may take a few more cup of coffee to figure out.

But it has been part of my revelations for a while, so I should go with the flow.

About art, well I have to say that I really haven’t put my degree to use very much lately , since I am mostly focusing on the money making part of my life.

It is something that fufills only one aspect of my life, but soon, when I get my own space, it will fall better into perspective.

SO EXPECT GREAT THINGS……!!!!

BY THE WAY, WE SHOULD ALL PITCH INTO ALEX RUBIO’S WEBSITE……OR MAYBE NOT, SINCE HE BRINGS LOTS OF TRAFFIC INTO MY BLOG

ALEX, THIS IS FOR YOU………………… KEEP ON ROCKING THIS TOWN, YOUR S.A. TOWN.

HIHIHI

Been working on a series of illustrations. Hugely attracted to the variety in design and pattern.

Also, on my moments of inspiration I depended on the inner muse in order to understand where creativity lies inside.

Here are photos pf both my illustrations and my artistic self- portraits:

UNITITLED, Watercolor and pencil on paper.

´Other dimensions´Watercolor, pencil and liquid paper on paper.

´Poppie fields´ Watercolor, pencil and marker on paper

´Like San Francisco´ Watercolor and marker on paper.

´Bio landscape´Watercolor, pencil and marker on paper.

Vallarta and illustration

Been working on these illustrations for a little while, but I plan to resolve them tonight. And mayb e later develop on bigger versions of them.

This is a video just made today about my feelings on being back in Puerto Vallarta

New studio, new work

cristybalp — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:16:31 +0000

It’s been a while since my last update here….I have been posting a whole lot on my regular myspace profile about all sorts o things, including art.

So I am moved-into Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco Mexico. My father’s birthplace. I live on a beautiful and noisy area.

Don Cruz, is an old man that has been working for my grandpa for a while and he is also a very good carpenter. I commissioned a series o panels and frames for my next set of paintings.

So, I started to make a series of paintings called “Cocoons”, which I translated into Capullos in Spanish.

They are the adventure of my sketching, the forms that usually emerge from my spontaneity: biomorphic, abstarct shapes that remid one of fruit, feminine anatomy, an flowers…sort of like O’keefe, but more into my style.

Here is an example of previous work I have done with this shape before

So I became interested in participating in various contests around Mexico, including the Jose Atanasio Monroy painting contest and the Salon de Ocutbre contest. I also found out about another printmaking contest while visiting the Ex Convento del Carmen, one of the cultural houses here in Guadalajara. I also got to meet the director, who happened to be a friend of my father’s.

So the set and theme of my work continues to go into a deeper exploration of these biomorphic shapes in different sizes, colors, etc.

Here is a series of progress pictures. The end result is the end.

COCOONS

Don Cruz was also very kind to build this fancy easel for me …it is a great design.

Painting 2’s final stage is still missing in my photos, but will take photos of it today, when I deliver the next painting.
