I was born in Chicago. My chilwood
memories are made up Old
Chicago alleyways, tenements, red
brick and cement played against
the lush greenery and ponds of
the nearly Park. I began drawing
and painting when I was four years
old.
In my work I attempt to explore
the interconnectedness of all things.
I spend much of my time reading
books on mythology, pshicology,
philosophy, metaphysics, alchemy
and the world of dreams.
Nací en Chicago, los recuerdos de
mi niñez estan compuestos de los
viejos callejones , casa de ladrillos
y cemento que contrastan con la
exhuberante vegetación y las
lagunas del cercano Parque.
Comencé a dibujar y pintar
cuando tenía cuatro años.
En mi trabajo intento explorar
la interrelación de todas las
cosas.
Dedico mucho de mi tiempo
leyendo libros sobre mitología,
psicología, filosofía, metafísica
alquimia y el mundo de los
sueños.
I felt that I was at "The Dinner Party" when I was painting this piece - it became more real for me than this so called reality we live our day to day lives in - it is the largest painting I have done and the last one I completed done in 2008 - blood sweat and tears went into this piece as just after I was done painting it two family members died and I have not painted since - I am just now slowly getting back to work - a lovely place for it to be Beatriz
