One day I left home looking for a better
opportunity for different dreams and ideals.Never imagined of this
surprising turn then. I found something that change my life,completely!
I am from Guatemala. El Pais de la eterna Primavera!
(The Land of Eternity Spring), a beautiful country with Mayan culture.
In 1999 I moved to Long Island (Stony Brook, New York) ,in 2005 I moved
to Brooklyn,now my new hometown and starting point of my brand new
journey as an Artist!
I started working in Manhattan. I commuted everyday
taken the subway from Brooklyn. After two weeks of two hours commute
after a long shift at work began to tiresome and depleting. I felt
like I was completely wasting two hours of my life everyday doing
nothing! I had to do something about it! Around that time I was
studying Auto Cad computer program. For while I started to bring my
book with me to study in the train and at the end of the day by the
time I got to my computer to practice what I learned from book, I
didn't remember much from the book! It turned out to be inefficient. Then
I bought a drawing pad and a pen.While traveling I start drawing just
lines after lines. My line strokes filled up a page within a week. I
drew another page and more after that . People start asking me: What
kind of Art was lining up on those pages? Where did I learn to do it?
What school did I go to? until one day I saw a picture of Manhattan and
as soon my eyes set on it,my heart started pumping almost the same
instant with fascination and impatience to draw it with my lines. So i
did! By the time I was finishing up the Manhattan page, I wasn't
satisfied with how it was concluding. I decided to spill the
continuation onto another page. those pages just followed one after the
other. It is still continuing until today! I have been working on it
every single day! I started with the drawing of Manhattan. The idea expanded
onto drawing of the whole world. I'm building with my lines a World
City with one o more landmaks from every single country from around the
world! When the drawing is complete you are not only going to see a
realistic view of this World City,but also you will discover an
imaginary,futuristic and abstract city viewed in your dreams. The
secret is you just have to turn the drawing upside down. Two on one.
The real world and the one we don't get to see yet! The Future," The
New Millennium".
"The old Millennium is ending and we are starting The New Millennium"
