Jazzamoart: music and painting

By Jorge Alberto Manrique

The characters in Jazzamoart’s works are undefined figures, almost ideographic gestures, found alone or connected to others in three-dimensional spaces or on neutral backgrounds. Though often little more than scribbles, you can feel the character and his actions – like symbols that guide the spectator towards a vaguely recognizable but undefined land. His body of work has expanded to include numerous three-dimensional pieces. His wood sculptures or grotesque masks and even his large, monumental pieces maintain the most beloved characteristics of the artist. They are very simple wood frameworks, assembled in an intentionally bad way and covered in the same nervous brush strokes and drippings that fill his paintings. Even in something like sculpture, the pieces are arranged to maintain freedom and spontaneity.
