Dear Alvaro, your style is totally unique. I like these dark colors and that "morbid" aura. Sometimes you use the cross like Antoni Tapies. a spanish painter, that I amire very much. Best for you Wilfried
sanchezisdead Replied: February 06, 2010
Dear Wilfried danke for your words, indeed i love Tapies work it´s a big influence in my work so in my case the use of the cross for me is like a mix between Tapies and the Wiener Aktionismus which is another huge influence for me, i always liked that sentence " to carry the cross of your life in your back" and i guess most of my work talk about things from the past we carry on like a cross on our backs and i wanted to use the cross as a representation of it but i couldnt find the right way until some years ago i discover Tapies and hermann nitsch work so im glad you mention it! best regards from guatemala city!!! more work on the way!

Tu trabajo es de la pintura o de la fotografia ??? Chaque oeuvre est superbe. He visto que te gusta el vino rojo, si te vienes a Francia, vienes a encontrame et je te ferai découvrir de très bons vins français !!! Je suis Présidente d'une association d'artistes en Haute-Loire et si tu souhaitais exposer en France en novembre ce serait avec plaisir que je t'inviterai au salon d'automne ou sur d'autre projets d'expo !!! Te puedes ser mi amigo ? pero no se como hacer porque este blog es nuevo y no entiendo muy bien el ingles... tu puedes décirme como hacer ? Te hablas frances ?
