So I’ve realized I’ve not actually explained my art and how I’ve developed this character.
Being Half Peruvian I have always been fascinated by my ancestors and so much so that for a brief time I studied anthropology.I
From Chile/Peru up to Central America the most influential pieces of history that captured my imagination was that of the Moche/Mochica (bottom) and Olmec of Central America(statue top left).
The way in which the did their jewelry and Jade carving has always left me in awe.
I started to develop a character when I was writing a lot and this was the result. In a way it’s the new age, re-imagined derivative of the Easter Island heads and other sculptures of my ancestors but instead I wanted to give it a technological twist, representing the future.
People sometimes ask me why? I say art is a great way to make people smile, whether through a joke or bizarre out of this world character I think it’s up to artist to show the world who they are through their art and bring people together.
