"Jones Beach Field 6"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2022.
"Self-portrait in Hell"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2022.
My self-portrait in Hell, represents the day I caught COVID-19. As I have asthma, I didn't know how my lungs would react to the disease.
"Crucified By The System"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2021.
Crucified by the System speaks about male nude subjects and the artists who create erotic works. These artists, like me, continue to be censored on Instagram and Facebook, and we don't get much space on other social media. Work is deleted. Quality work, many of these figurative artists who explore erotic art end up being crucified by the gate keepers.
"Cain and Abel"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2021.
"Tsunami on Rockaway Beach"
Acrylic on Canvas, 24"x 36". Year: 2022.
Tsunami on Rockaway Beach is about climate change, and its consequences. The work was inspired by the deadly Tsunami like event that took place in 1923 at Rockaway Park, Long Island, NY. Five children from the Convalescent Home for Hebrew Children were bathing on the beach when they were hit by “a large and unusual wave” which pulled them out to sea. Two did not survive. Learning of this I thought of the song Rockaway Beach by The Ramones and so chose to portray two rockers on the beach.
Climate change is a reality and we must be aware of its consequences.
"Jesus Christ"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2020.
Jesus Christ is a portrait that dialogues with classic paintings, but with a different focus. I try to intervene in the social reality that surrounds me, shifting certain notions of right or wrong in my work. The painting speaks of freedom, of being what you are, without fear of assuming your ideas and ideals. This also shows other possibilities in portraits of religious figures. The painting represents what was preached to us by Jesus Christ, “Love one another.”
"Justice".
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2021.
(Justice for Daunte Wright, Justice for George Floyd).
"Adam and Eve"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2022.
"The Forbidden Fruit"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2021.
"Boys Do Cry"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2021.
"Anarcho-punk"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2021.
This work is dedicated to victims of hate crimes. The tattoos show the names of some of the victims.
"Homophobia Kills. Case Number 17"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2020.
Homophobia kills. Case Number 17. It is a personal work, a page in my diary, and makes reference to an aggression which I suffered 20 years ago. I was beaten, stabbed in the back by a homophobe who hated my paintings of male nudes and homoerotic works. The painting is also an alert to the current events suffered by the LGBTQIA+ community around the world.
"Brad"
The portrait represents joy, rebellion and challenges the visual parameters in the way of painting portraits. Especially paintings of faces.
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2020.
"The Second Coming"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2020.
The Second Coming is a Christian and Islamic belief that Jesus will return again after his ascension to heaven about two thousand years ago. Before He establishes His kingdom on earth, Jesus will come for His Church, an event commonly referred to as the "Rapture."
"Pig-Boy"
Acrylic on Canvas, 16"x 20". Year: 2020.
Pig-Boy is about a male who submits to the perverse pleasures of their dominant mistress or dominant male top; often: piss play, rooting in mud, walking on hands and knees on a leash, eating from the floor.
