Art can be methaphysical, methaphorical, andromadrical, and also can be describe as messangerical. the world in wich we are living, has become one that only the most intellectual and avante can desipher their meaning. Only when we are gone, can art be remember. That's why we must continue to get acquanted with times, If Not - Then why do we make true artworks.

I like to think and I said this before, my initial thoughts as a painter when producing have a decorative asthetic direction to them,a primitive urge to immitate nature, to produce without moral cause,to paint and free the imagination, it is not until the "me" takes over that corrupts that idea and a painting becomes a way to communicate sometimes the "what have you".
I think the idea of being safe is to stick to one style, perhaps the one style, which the painter skills find comfort in... it is a sort of lazyness, I like the idea of challenging the hand and brush. What you paint, whether it is a line or a bird, a portrait or a boat, a social comment or a simple dot, the idea of a safe painting is an illusion, there is no such thing. gt

... WHAT !!! --- WHY ???

Why should I care? Chicanos are seen as maggots in time. The only hopes of a people that will correct the ills of this forsaken place are ill images of contemporary area trends. We are not gangsters, or drug pursers; we do not have ties with cartels or illegal forces. We are a simple voice that many in our area either are not aware of or simply live in darkness due to the madness of local petty social politics. So many sell out because they want to become part of the dynamic social presence and forgo what is important. The valley and Brownsville in particular have never had a chance to move forward due to the horrific influx of culture stealing identity. Why do so many cancel whom they are and adorn those who simply just use them. Chicano art might not be the mainstream fade or the idealistic local trend but it is the only salvation that the area has from the totally messed-up corruption of what the area can offer. 99.9 percent reflects the population. So why does .001 control? Just to get a minute of glory?...when mortality is on the horizon, and you know who you are basura. Chicano Art, viva la cuaza shivo!
