Gropius goes to Africa to design a building commissioned by the eccentric government of a country he knows little about. He arrives tired. In the following days he begins to investigate the area, but manages to understand little. I already knew that, people are of a different color than in Germany (but in the USA there are also like that), but the astonishment does not stop, fish that fly, multicolored fruits that walk and more disconcerting, transparent chickens, so much so that you can see the egg inside the chickens. I was expecting surprises but not so many. Resigned to the rarities of the place, when he begins to study the materials he understands even less. They suggest stones that look like cork, soft iron, glass that instead of being cut with the diamond is cut with scissors... more and more resigned, but not sad, he takes refuge at times in the past. He sees a building with columns that remind him of the Doric, ah, the Doric temples, Sicily and Alma's legs* he liked more than the columns. When he remembers Alma, he softens a little, smiles... rationally he thinks, capable that he would now be a whale and with a spirit of resignation he says yes, that they review the fence of the facade with a palm tree instead of using that precious German marble.

I’m an artist/architect who, upon thinking about the blessings of what has been a full, productive life, is proud to say that he’s remained a child much of his time. I’m a representational artist but not one out to replicate subject matter in ways true to life. I’m more the dissembler, and enjoy combining incongruent elements in whimsical ways, sometimes humorously to reflect the pleasure that comes with discovering new things. I avoid planning ahead in favor of letting the process lead the way. While listening to the music, I’m never happier than when painting away, adding bits of wood, cloth, string, or anything else that’s handy to finally define something that’s the sum of its parts. I’m a narrative artist who makes stuff to tell stories. I’ve tried to be honest by developing my own visual language in hopes of encouraging onlookers to consider other realities. While I’ve enjoyed the recognition that has come my way, I’ve treasured the privilege of living an artful life.
