Self Portrait #1 Painting

Encaustic and mixed media Artist Manifesting religious non-iconic superior beings by worshipping archetypal materials. Paraffin, conjoined with soil and ash, imprint on the canvas points from the innermost journey of the descent Katabasis. The metallic elements combined with the wooden ones -given to me in pieces- are placed with other materials in points and symbolic compounds meaning the beginning and the intermediate. Skin, hairs, bones, feathers, whitewash, concrete, soil, ash; elements or materials, symbols or concepts, are given in order to both decipher and encrypt those points and references. Ancient and primitive concepts are reprinted in the post-modern. The dead being, the insect, wine and honey resurface what was kept undisclosed.
