Ingrid Betancourt, 36"x48", 2008 (detail)
In about three months it is the opening of my solo exhibition at the San Diego Art Institute.
All the work is pretty much ready. I still have to decide between some pieces. The space will not be huge and I don’t want the walls to look full. I looked at all the pieces together, paintings and prints, and it works. But although the work is very recent, it has different moods: some pieces have more layers than others, some are more transparent than others some have text and some have not. There are people but also a big empty landscape. My family and some friends are there and so is Ingrid Betancourt, the woman kidnapped by the FARC, who is still a captive somewhere in the Colombian forest. Some people are recognizable, some are silhouettes…
I am very excited to see all those pieces together in a show!
