I never knew how dangerous art could be because if it wasn't, why would someone break into my studio and throw acid on my painting? Luckily, I was not in the studio. |
One day I'll get back to those concepts and materialize them on canvas. |
These are not my works; these are just prints of the originals. Really, what we're showing here is the record of what happened, what I went through physically [and] emotionally in every aspect, what I went through to get these paintings done, and this is what I have left. I just wanted to share my voice. It's just fascinating how much work someone would go through in order to oppress my voice, my art. |
These are social commentaries that have been suppressed and oppressed, and I have not been able to talk about them, nor even paint in reference to them until recently. I finally had the guts to pursue and to bring [them] into fruition and completion. |
