.
This series of art pieces are based on and idealized image of my love for Mother Nature and Hummingbirds. My style comprise of faces in planes and looping curves with natural colors, mechanical forms, nature forms, symbols from my cultural background, flora and fauna forms. The bold outline is immediately recognizable, yet subtle when blended into the forms, parts of the human body are also recognizable and only as disproportionate as real life. Not exactly a traditional style but manifesting a streamlined surreal modernism executed in a very spontaneous way.
