Llanos tour (slideshow part 1)— TONS of driving, and on top of that lots of “safari” (driving while looking for animals), but hey, the boat safari and horseback ride were worth the 80 mosquito bites, terrible food, and forced comingling with random middle-class euros (crossing paths with the jaw-droppingly airheaded americans in the next cabin and their psychopathic massage-creep tourguide put THAT in perspective).

Artist's Statement:

Si lo que vemos es todo lo que existe, entonces el cuerpo ,la flor y las aves tropicales, serían la coronación de la vida y no lo son . Son sólo vehículos de las fuerzas que subyacen detrás de las formas ,de la fuerza interior que se conecta con algo intangible , superior o a veces inferior, demoníaca.

Todo ser humano es divino, o tiene esa capacidad en potencia ; esas fuerzas que tallan las formas , que desnudan la esencia en pos de la personalidad o le confieren carácter a una naturaleza silenciosa , son las que intento atrapar con mi cámara.
