MIGUEL TRELLES answers to my questions.Even though I have been drawing incessantly since I can remember in 1991 I decided to concentrate most of my time in art. In 1995 I obtained an M.F.A. degree. I do not care to comment on what may the difference be with someone else but I can say that since 1991 I have been active as a working visual artist. To this day this choice makes me very happy, even if there have been very difficult moments in my career, and it has made me a more dynamic person who continuously strives for truth, beauty and criticallity in both life and art.

MIGUEL TRELLES works. One of this works is hanging in Culturefix now. Guess which one and you can go for free to Flushing Meadows this week. We take care for that. We promise. I have always been in love with marks on two dimensions. That is why I draw and print and paint. Obviously there are notable differences between those means and between media in general. When a work is content driven I feel the chosen medium influences that content but that regardless of the notable differences in conveyance methods, the intensity of the aim, the urgency to communicate and the joy of making can bring together works that appear formally disparate otherwise. My favortie music is the Cuban son. I like this music because it is an authentic expression of love for the Caribbean endroit and idiosyncracy. Perhaps what I find most exciting about it is that it has a sense of humor and that sense of humor helps to assimilate the more difficult aspects of our daily life.

This is a small art piece from Mark L Power. But at this moment he is working just in front of me at a big new piece of art specially made for this "LOOKING INTO THE LIGHT'" show. It gonna be huge and funny. Can't tell you what it is. Thank you Mark.

This are some more works from Wayne he showed me in his atelier.
