A continuation of the exploration of my curled doodles which I thought were infinity signs that didn't connect, I needed to experience them in 2D, pure abstractions with implied space and all about expression. The series of three 40x40 paintings hold multiple doodles of the duality of my daily life: my own energetic track of being Salvadorean and American, from my Maya roots and forging into the future with science and AI. "From Here and From There" is my positive version of the well-used spanish adage that translates into “I’m not from here or from there". I embrace my dualities, and make visual what I have tried to exemplify with my actions, which is to be proud and learn from our Latino culture, and honor the soil and culture of this country that gives us our freedom. The duality tracks are painterly and raw, the symbols of my culture are layered, ending in a translucent modern glyph shape with a window that allows me to express the now. I incorporated tree branches in red, inspired by the trees in Diego Rivera’s famous mural “Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park”, as a nod to my connection to him through my art tutor, and to Rivera's art that elevated the working people of Mexico. This series centers my Global Hues palette. including artisanal indigo pigment from El Salvador, and gray pigment I made from the Texas ashes from an extreme climate event. "From Here and From There" paintings has been exhibited at Chevron Headquarters in Houston.
