"The First Time"

As a surrealist artist, I have the capacity to share my dreams and visions through my paintings.
I don't believe that dreams are divine or prophetic, instead, irrational visions and fragments of my daily experience
that my subconsciousness expresses vividly.
In this painting, fragments of pieces of my live when I met my current wife, Chela, appeared and manifest itself with symbols.
A good example is the big red door in the background. The door represents the name of the town where I met my wife the first time.
The "Door" or "La Puerta" is a little, charming town in the Andes in Venezuela. There are wildflowers everywhere, in addition to farms and
little stores where they sell Roses, which is her favorite flower and the center piece of the painting. The flower is projecting a shadow of a female body
that represents her; colorful, tender and delicate.
The male figure, it's me dress the way some of the elderly men in the village or town wear casually. The connection of the two figures is evident in their first encounter.
The sense of commonality, connectivity and familiarity manifest itself in that moment.
