Artist Statement My work has continually been about constructing imagined environments that delve into the dark inner reaches of the mind, conveying a sense of romantic melancholy and isolation. Through specific color choices and deliberate composition, I create spaces that point to the gothic and eerie—the darker sides of personality—while still calling to mind the…
Artist Statement I was born in Tucuman, Argentina. Growing up, I took every opportunity I had to create art. In the early 90′s, I was an exchange student in New York City. From the moment I arrived, I was stunned by the city’s art scene and knew that one day I would come back to…
Statement Although the principle behind my creative work is framing, my intention is the realization of an unexpected use of the photograph. Leaving aside the obvious path, the one indicated in the manual, creating my own manual of the new technologies. My intention when creating is to manage to generate a work-spectator game in which…
Artist Statement My love of art stems from my early childhood in India, where I was exposed to a conglomeration of art ranging from traditional Indian to contemporary western.

Artist Statement
I make paintings, usually medium to large, with oil paint, and occasional other materials. Over time, I have developed a personal visual language that I use to communicate and to evoke. My paintings occupy the role of vessel for ideas and emotions: akin to keeping a diary. They are memorials to events [...]
The subjects should be seen in the larger context of dislocation and cultural hybridization. Living in New York City, I am a witness to the arrival of immigrants, and the human panorama of people of diverse cultures going about their daily lives. I have tried to dream their lives.
The collision and the intermingling of [...]
Statement
I’ve become fascinated with the sculpted nature of chairs and the visual force they project. I photograph them everywhere, work into the images, and render them in black and white to try to get to their essence.

Statement
Early one morning on a Bronx subway I sat across from a woman with unnaturally orange hair. She looked sad, and I could see my own tired reflection against the dark tunnel out the window behind her. From the angle where I sat, [...]
