Artist's Statement by Daniel Bottero
It is a divine privilege to slip into the moments of unpremeditated creation that bring me face to face with the unknown. When I am painting, my brush strokes against the canvas are searching for an answer between unconscious and rhythmical movements. I step back for air and space. The essence of creation runs for my arms... my entire body... my soul... In the background, there is the music... the dancing light... darkness... sensations that run through my flesh... spaces... scents... instruments of my passion. All these blend in an enchanting symphony.
When it is over, I am left with no recollection of how it happened. And yet, I find myself confronted with a finished creation, waiting to be shared so that it may become the source of new and deeper inspiration.
My restless longing for all that is creative, intuitive, sincere and harmonious leads me to a place that transcends conventional reality. Mastering of my medium grants me an eternal freedom of expression. It is a genesis, sowing within me a desire to give birth to just one universal creation: a work of art that may awaken sensations that lie dormant in all of our hearts. A painting to inspire all humanity to join and participate in our own evolution.
Our past, our present and our future all influence my paintings. Yesterday, today, my life, New York, new encounters, loves, dreams, loneliness, strange noises and sorrows.
Each painting I create is an essential part of my inner being. My work speaks many languages, communicates on several levels at the same time. A unique psychological interaction between reality and fantasy, one that transports the observer into a dreamlike encounter with the sublime. And on these journeys, I am with them always!
It is just me, and this is my world.
Welcome!
Daniel.
abigail white - conch house artist
This story features a colorful trip to the Conch Republic, which is Key West for those of you who know it by that name. At the Key West Art Center, we met an island native, Abigail White, who has taken the term conch house just a little too literally, but the results are both fanciful and pure Key West.
