"the Sky as the limit"
Acrylic paint on mapple wood decks

2022
4 mapple wood decks depicting 4 skys, each portray a different mood regarding self-belief and evolution. The first, "Sky", represents freedom, my utmost goal and guidance in life, by means a pure blue sky. "Alienated" pretends to transpose the lunatic and out-of-this-world vision and beliefs, although sometimes feeling as 'too delusional' these are absolutely necessary to keep going forward at all times. "Dark sky" represents a pure night sky. Even in cloudy nights, stars are always there, as is the Milky way. Stars always were and still remain a primal inspiration to believe in the process and keep going. Looking up to them in the darkest times always made me believe I would make it no matter what went by. The "Hope" brought by those elements is a paramount feeling that remains throughout, not letting us perish in face of adversities and hard times.
All together, they represent how I overcome obstacles and how I keep evolving meanwhile. Not that the sky is the limit, but actually recognizing the sky AS the limit in itself, the inspiration of limitless possibilities depicted in a painting.
