DANNY VERO



D.V.D.

I AM A 1ST GENERATION CHICANA ARTIST FROM HERMOSA, IL. A PRINTMAKER WITH A BASE BACKGROUND OF MULTI-MEDIUMS, ENJOYING THE EXPLORATION AND EXPERIMENTATION OF UNFAMILIAR TECHNIQUES. I HAVE MY MOST FUN WHEN WORKS ARE INTERTWINED IN EVOCATIVE COLORS AND ARRESTING TEXTURES.

I OFTEN ILLUSTRATE PATTERNMAKING WITH ORGANIC, AND SEPARATELY MECHANIC ESSENCE.

THIS SUCH INFLUENCE CAME FROM CONSTANT CULTURAL EXPOSURE TO ART SUCH AS MEXICAN ARTISANOL POTTERY, TEXTILES, PAPEL PICADO, AND SO ON. THE ALLURE OF PATTERN AND FLOW DETAILING BEGAN THERE.

I AM THANKFUL FOR MY MOTHERS EARLY ENCOURAGEMENT TO PURSUE MY ARTWORKS FURTHER AND BEING MY EARLIEST ROLE MODEL BY MAKING HER OWN TEXTUAL ART ON FABRIC BASED MATERIALS. THIS AS WELL AS A FULL LIFE OF BEHOLDING CHICAGO'S URBANIC RUST AND DECAY INFLUENCED MY VISUAL CATALOG. I LAY A FOCUS ON CHINE-COLLE AND A LA POUPEE WITHIN MY MAIN PRACTICE TO HELP TRANSLATE MY DISPOSITION AND HOW I INVISION IT METAPHYSICALLY IN MY WORKS.

THERE IS A DUALITY THAT I RECURRENTLY CONTEND WITH AND SO I ENJOY A GOOD CONTRADICTION WITH CONVICTION, I KEENLY PREFER IT. THE CLASHING OF ELEMENTS HAS ALWAYS SPOKEN TO ME. THE JAGGED YET MELLOW, THE DELICATE YET VALIANT. I ENCOURAGE IT; HOWEVER, IT IS THAT IT MAY PERTAIN TO THE SUBJECT’S MATTER OR ITS AESTHETICS.

WHEN I MAKE, I REACH DEEP INSIDE I FIND MYSELF INTENSELY INTERLOCKED IN MOST EVERYTHING I MAKE. I FIND IT THAT THE WHOLE POINT TO MAKE ANYTHING AT ALL IS TO PROTEST THE PAIN WE FEEL INSIDE. WHETHER THIS MAY BE BY SHINNING A LIGHT ON THE PAIN OR BY UNVEILING THE SOCIETAL ISSUES THAT PERSISTED TO MAKE THAT PAIN SO IMMENSE. I AM CONNECTED AND SO ARE YOU. EXPRESIÓN ES REBELIÓN ¡ENCHUFATE!
