My inspiration starts with cultures and the people who surround me. I have grown up by adapting into two cultures (Peruvian and Chinese.) These two cultures have given me the chance to experience the two different sides of an idea. All of my projects are an expression of vibrant colors or as simple as black & white. I have always seen colors as a way of expressing my feeling. A simple ocean blue can calm my senses; a green combined with a hint of yellow will always remind of my childhood and a brown chocolate will indulge my mind. I begin imagining my projects with a simple color and shape in mind. Inspiration from a simple dot with a basic color, gives me the idea to start my work. Colors are a description of my work, a simple picture project of black and white can tell a story in the simplest form. I mostly surround my work in a theme of colors but in all my work, I have questions of what is this describing to others and what will be my next step?
Trying to define my work could be challenging at times because in my perspective a shade of red color is a symbol of power and mystery. However, another individual might see it as insulting and hurtful. As an example, the video game Pokémon is an example of a color description of a specific character. Blue for water and red for fire, but, there are complexes of mixed colors that describe a specific character (Pokémon.) Although, others will imply that a certain Pokémon is diabolic and the colors are a mask to appeal to children.
In my present and future work, I hope I could demonstrate my ideas and emotions through color so others will see and understand the exact meaning behind the project. My purpose is to show that a simple blue line can be a representation of a life journey and one can add many colors along the road.
