Illusion

2015

This was my second painting to incorporate unprimed canvas as the backdrop for a work. Each panel represents a wing. The bones of the painting are an abstract representation of what you would find on any Monarch butterfly. The rest is the emotional release of creativity to fill the canvas with color, movement, and lines to stimulate the imagination to bring the painting to life. The back story: This painting was imagined on the ask and a favor to an artist friend & artist Chris Judy...

Bright, fun, a lot of movement. The object in the center reminiscent of a mouth of lips represents acknowledgement of a conversation but not really hearing what is being said.

"Follow me / Like me" Oil painting 79" x 59" inch by Patricio Gonzalez oil and silver leaves on canvas From "Looking for Happiness" series LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS Like "el dorado", a cultural construction, a myth, the Looking for happiness series talks about the illusion of happiness. Using coordinates between different geographical points and world views, seeking to generate a dialogue between stories. In this way, places speak to tell us about degraded utopias, religious crusades, martyrs and oppressors, wars, victories, and defeats. All searches for what cannot be found. The infinite existing possibilities, in this continuous present and its accumulation, to be history. The utopian idea of achieving completeness or completeness. The transformation of the fabric into jewelry, the transmutation that moves from the sacred to the economic. The "object of desire" is the engine of life and its different permutations.
