IN SEARCH OF OUR OWN IDENTITY
The exploration of the darkest feelings of the complicated human interiority has been a point of magnetism for man, who as an artist has dedicated himself to capture it, explain it and sometimes magnify it in all forms of expression. In painting, literature -including children’s stories-, sculpture, music, cinema, theater and even architecture.
We all create a character, perhaps to appear before a difficult world, sometimes just to create company when we touch a stage of loneliness or accompanied loneliness, the point is that we are never alone. Someone is always in our mind and we create a story in each life experience that we acquire in our walk through this world.
The personality of Jesus Hernandez Aragon better known as “Guty” is cautious, observing everything and spinning stories and personalities. It is inevitable. It is not clear yet if the character that is always present in his work as a painter and sculptor is “Guty”, if he entered Jesus’ mind or if Jesus found that life companion.
His work represents freedom in terms of his techniques, fiberglass, wood, ceramic enamels, bronze, oil, engraving, mural. The brush at times is often a constraint, so he turns to look at himself and uses his body as a working tool.
We will continue to be accomplices of this mysterious character who will tell us a narrative of each situation. Her work reflects the convictions with which she has lived each day.
It is honest, genuine, creative, dynamic, fresh, inspired and virtuous.
