Julio Mendossa

"My work is the expression of an abstract gaze on reality.  I begin to work without a preconceived concept and allow the surface, materials and free-flowing ideas to dictate the outcome.  This method frees me from the dictates of convention or the restrictions of following a routine.  I am best working at a fast pace while experimenting with new materials; I work on many pieces at the same time.  

My work is about discovering form and color and creating new dimension through the overlapping of elements.  If something is not working, I use it as part of the process of continual manipulation to achieve the desired effect.  I work most often in a series, each piece being autonomous but part of a whole."
