Gustavo Cruz
Recent works reflect the artist’s contemplation of man’s existence in the physical world, and his never-ending quest for answers. These thoughts appear via intertwined body parts, organs and faces that combine to take on other forms. Cruz’s intuitive nature is revealed in black and white multidimensional compositions, mirroring the way he perceives them in his mind’s eye.

These investigations provide historical references and a multicultural discourse. The arts connect these artists to themselves and each other. The works include vibrant paintings and drawings that describe the varied personal styles developed by these artists. These images evoke dreams, fantasies, and the inner joy that artistic achievement brings by expressing themselves creatively.
