I am a Navajo Indian, or, just, "NAVAJO", or "Native American", "skIn", "Dine", "Indian", "Indigenous North American", "athabaskin", and the like, "so on and so forth", a bila'ashdla'ii, bitsi'yishtxlizhii. Mostly-though-I am an artist; I paint with oilpaints usually on canvas, although, I have used other mediums. I am a bitahnii born for todichii'nii. I have...(hahaha) no, that's about me. I wanted a website where I could present my artwork and so here we are,...free, thanks tom.

MY IMAGES HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY SURROUNDINGS(navajo indian reservation)AND LITERATURE LIKE THOSE LABORED ON BY FRITJOF CAPRA AND RACHEL CARSON -"SILENT SPRING" &"THE TURNING POINT", PROSPECTIVELY. ALSO, OF COURSE, I WAS INFLUENCED BY MOST (MODERN ART)IN THE SENSE OF ART AFTER WWII AND SOME CONTEMPORARY TRENDS.MY PAINTINGS HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY SURREALISTS IN SUBJECT REPRESENTATION. THE IMAGES ARE LIKE ICONS; A REFERENCE TO EXPERIENCES: (informed or assumed), AND INFORMATION BROUGHT FORTH BY A SINGLE IMAGE,-icon-,THE SURREALISTS TENDED TO BE ILLUSTRATIVE INSTEAD OF BEING PAINTERLY, TO ACHIEVE A SUR~real~image,...I COMBINE THIS ASPECT WITH THE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISTS' PAINTERLY WAY; A WAY TO APPLY PAINT THAT SHOWS THE VARIOUS APPROACHES TO APPLYING PAINT ON THE CANVAS. HENCE: A PAINTING OF IMAGES.
RECENTLY I HAVE TURNED TO SELF-INTROSPECTIVE, I AM STARTING TO EXPLORE WHOM I AM AND SUCH RELATIVE TO SPACE AND TIME; I AM DESCRIBING VIEWS THAT REFLECT RECENT AND CURRENT EVENTS IN CULTURE AND WORLD ALBEIT IN MY OWN VOCABULARY. YOU WILL FIND REFERENCES TO TECHNOLOGY AND ITS BY-PRODUTS(in a broad sense,at least they start out with that intent)THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE AFFECTS OF (PROGRESS). ~THE "self" IN THIS SITUATION~THE ISOLATION OF CONFINEMENT:A SORT OF ELECTRONIC ISOLATION. AN ALIENATION OF BEING AS A RESULT OF MEDIA BOMBARDMENT. ALL ALONG, THOUGH, I TRY TO CONVEY IMAGES WITHIN THE INFINITE CONFINES OF THE VISUAL LANGUAGE-A METAPHYSICAL BEAUTY...IMAGINING PERHAPS HOW A PAINTING WOULD LOOK LIKE ON A WALL AND SO FORTH. I REALIZE THAT MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE WHOM ARGUE AND POINT OUT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF PROGRESS ARE HYPOCRITES,...SO IN A WAY I AM. WHILE THAT MY BE, I WOULD LIKE MY PAINTINGS (IMAGES) TO COMMENT FROM A NEUTRAL STANCE, A MUTE SINGULARITY, TO TRANSFORM THE POINTS OF VIEWS INTO WORKS OF ART...SORT OF AN EXISTENTIAL FILTER WITH A BUILT-IN AESTHETIC COMPOSITION COMPOSER. (please forgive the photographer for the quality of some of the pictures)
