Estevan Arredondo

Through my investigation of negative space, rhythm and visual sounds, my paintings represent spontaneity, and reveling in the moment. The visual space attempts to contain the uncontainable in peculiar forms reminiscent of floating, flying or moving very fast. My shapes reference organic life such as creatures moving in unison, bats in flight or a school of jellyfish. I enjoy manipulating the paint and capturing the gestures made by my body. I draw influence from Aztec indigenous ways of expression. The carefree approach of child mark making, exposure to nature, fabric patterns, popular imagery,
murals, and various musical styles.
