Acrylic painting on postcards
A Christmas hand painted postcard. Acrylic on photographic paper.
Pine trees in a field of flowers. There is snow on the ground but the pines are bright green like the ones I have at home.
I have painted these postcards as part of my research and practice on Abstract Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. The subject is whatever comes to my mind at the moment I am painting them.
Sympathy or funeral flowers postcard. Acrylic on photographic paper.
This one has the feeling of a postcard for sympathy and it seems I am still doubting which side is the up and which is down. It is also related to Halloween season.
A field of yellow flowers Impressionist postcard. Acrylic on photographic paper.
This postcard above is absolutely Impressionist, and has a lot of texture.
The technique for all: I begin with a non figurative colorful acrylic pour. I work on it with different impressions and then I finalize with a brush and sometimes markers.

The pregnant girl is the result of a non figurative morphology under which I imagined the naive figure, the rounded belly, the wind in the hair, and the flowers which are an intentional touch of color and happiness in the overall gloomy blue.
Hippopotamus postcard art. Acrylic on photographic paper.
The Hippopotamus is the only one intentional. I have taken the model from one of my pictures at the San Diego Zoo. The real Hippopotamus is brown but I preferred the blend of black, silver, white and purple, with touches of silver glitter.

This is not a hand. Esta no es una mano
Based on Magritte's concept, "this is not a hand". This is a depiction of a hand, precisely my hand grabbing a glass. My shot this January 2018.
Basado en el concepto de Magritte, "'esta no es una mano". Si no es una representación de una mano, precisamente la mía, tomando un vaso. My foto en Enero 2018.

Gajda. The medicine man
Gajda is a medicine man from Papua, New Guinea. The model has been taken from Kieron Nelson's splendid photograph. I'm thankful to Kieron because this is my first portrait and he allowed me to use this model. More practice is needed but I am still in the process of investigating techniques and color.

Remembering Marilyn Monroe. Recordando a Marilyn
One of my neighbors trashed an old classic poster of Marilyn Monroe. I couldn´t help myself, she looks so beautiful, I took some pictures of the poster, which is in bad condition and full of dust, and finally I decided to take it into my kitchen. I´m not sure what I´ll do with it. Maybe transform it into a piece of art.

Urban Jesus. Jesús urbano
The Crucifixion out of context, with the cemetery constructions and the electrical pole behind. Anyway, it seems dramatic to me. My picture from the Cemetery of the Mission of Santa Barbara, CA

Garra. Paw
"To look at," said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, "it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy."
He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.
"And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table.
"It had a spell put on it by an old fakir," said the sergeant-major, "a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it."
From The Monkey´s Paw. By W. W. Jacobs
