Exploring the Depths of Self: The Contemporary Abstract Art of Paz Viola

Paz Viola's non-representational approach indeed invites a rich tapestry of personal interpretations. By eschewing concrete imagery, he creates a space where viewers can project their own emotions and experiences, fostering a unique dialogue between the artwork and the observer.
Murga and Candombe are very much in my blood.

Murga and Candombe are very much in my blood. They are the music to my memories of summer Carnivals, light, colors, songs, rhythm, expression, freedom, and dreams. I remember sitting by the pavement with my family, water balloons and confetti in hand, anxiously waiting for the parade to start. The joy and energy are forever etched in my memory.

Music can transport us back in time or take us to a dreamed future. It awakens memories and elevates us to finer thoughts. Music unifies us with nature and the cosmos, with others and with ourselves. Paintings do the same but in a different way. Music is more subtle whereas visual art is more direct.

Art has transformed, from political and social critique and voice of advocacy to a more universal, spiritual and cosmic expression.

When I paint, I let emotions and intuition lead the way. My works do not make statements, which I believe come from the fictitious, intellectualizing self, against which I jealously guard. Nor is my art a transmutation of symbols and ideas into their equivalents in images or forms. When I create, I do not begin with the end or even a plan in mind. Instead, I leave empty space to allow my subconscious self to take over.
