Perspective
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, allow yourself to be one with a frozen moment in time and contemplate childhood, carefree walks, playful escapades, content places and tender love encounters. Events in a room are events in space, you are never really alone, always circled by memories, reasons and choices. But the greater weapon against stress is your ability to choose one thought over another, an immediate reaction to shift to a better state of mind.
His drawings are like meditation, Jose Higuera paints exactly that, delicate moments of an uplifting reality. A new reflection of old matters and events comes as a salvation or as a glue that holds together all your scattered pieces. Every oil painting is a continuous search for happiness, soulful and humane situations. The inspiration comes always uninvited, just by overlooking this complex world and seeking beauty in simple and unnoticed characteristics of life.
This artist has a unique way of giving meaning to pictures long forgotten, giving life to shadows that follow us and bringing a sudden light like a reminder that each time we stop another reality precedes us. Like a symmetrical angel, he sets the scene for rare thrills, where the past overlaps instantly the present and in reversal. Times are instances, configuring when you can go to your next stop, but in this case they are only excuses to replace things already broken.Kelly Kaimaki, Creative Writer / Curator
About Jose Higuera
About the Product
Firstly it is the reality reflected on a crystal; where the truth is to be found … the truth that we all know about but that most of us do not appreciate.
Secondly it is the history, the past and the present … the past of achievements and improvements that surround our past but are rarely recognized maybe because they have been taken for granted as they were always there for our delight.
But it is not so … maybe the internal shining and the accepted forms are clouding the perception of that reality. Is it possible that, by being immersed in the drunkenness of the immediate satisfaction that this world offers, we rather look more comfortably at the reflection?
The wish that the passing and unreal shines never cloud the authentic meaning of things is, without any doubt, what drives me to paint “Shopping” …. in the meantime the sun is shining out there.
This oil painting is done on gallery wrapped linen canvas, with no need for framing, as the edges are painted. Ready to hang. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
