Description of the Artwork “Owl eyes”
An acquaintance who is going through a difficult time medically speaking asked me to paint something on one of the x-rays of his head, thus this piece was born. The work refers to the search they are doing in their head, they are the eyes seeing the tangle, and all the sensations and feelings that this awakens in that person, it is what the color red is symbolizing and finally the owl speaks of wisdom and knowledge, both what is needed to get into the heads of others to investigate and what is being investigated needs to be able to face it and also symbolizes persistence, both what researchers need to find out and the permanence or continuity of the soul of the subject, regardless of what ultimately results.
Artwork in the interior
José Luis Montes, Mexico
Concern for nature and the space we inhabit has been a constant on a personal level and as such has been reflected in many of my works over time. I am currently focusing my work on women; the woman as a symbol of strength and tenacity and also as a guardian and connoisseur of the cycles of nature and I am painting her along with floral and animal elements that show her coexisting with nature. I use this, on the one hand, to draw attention to the fact that there is less and less nature to interact with, and on the other hand, as a reminder that we have to listen to the rest of the beings in nature, because we are not independent. from it and we cannot sustain ourselves outside of it, we need to understand that we are one and the same and that is what I intend to convey with my work, that people stop a little to think about how we are destroying the habitat of the macaws or how we are taking our diet towards the absurd, for example. I also like to use everyday elements to form and assemble the work as an allegory, guiding the observer into the interior of the painting, so that from there they themselves can discover their interpretation or can start a conversation with the work.
