RAFAEL NAVARRO
Ever since I was a child in Mexico City, I felt the
need to create with my hands. I would play and
sculpt with anything in my reach. I didn't possess
any fancy toys, so my favorite material was
modeling clay. I would make my own action
figures and when I was finished playing. I would
knead the clay in to a ball to start over again the
next day. This hand mind exercise was the actual
beginning of my career. I work by instinct,
through an internal dialogue that I cant ignore.
The ideas dictate the medium, thereby fostering
a strong relationship between the images and
materials. I draw inspiration from my heritage,
personal observations and childhood memories.
I alter the same ideas by taking different
approaches with various materials, such as with
the guitar/woman series. I prefer to communicate
visually, in a poetic manner, making similarities in
the creation of life, music, and art. I pay tribute to
women who create life; through conception, they
create music and the masterpiece of a new
person. Often, my musical pieces become
exaggerated seedpods, also representing the
evolution of life. I cant let go of my work until I am
satisfied, until I achieve the ideal state of
expression. Only then am I able to see that my
visual talk can speak clearly to those who view it.
