Memorias is a body of work delving into the rich tapestry of the 90s, where nostalgia and innocence converge to create a symphony of paintings based on childhood memories. Through the intricate interplay of 90s toys, video games and shoes, I weave the universal experience of coming of age and the enchanting essence of childhood juxtaposed against the tumultuous backdrop of the socio-political upheaval that gripped Caracas during that era. I invite viewers to embark on a reflective exploration of their own past while celebrating the universal journey of growth, resilience, and adaptation.

The 90s was an era of unbridled creativity, where every action figure opened a portal to   a world of ruled by imagination. Our favorite pair of sneakers carried us on countless adventures, both real and in the pixelated realms of video games. Play time became my safe haven – oscillating between the demands of growing up and the yearning for an escape from the harshness of reality. With meticulous attention to detail, I carefully select and arrange these artifacts, gather family album photos and look up historical references to craft each composition. I give the audience a glimpse of my life back Caricuao, a municipality of Caracas. Each painting evokes a sense of wonder that harkens back to a simpler time—a time of Saturday morning cartoons, endless summers, and dreams yet to be defined.

As I assemble these relics of the past, I orchestrate a visual narrative that transcends mere objects. It is a tale of growth, of navigating the labyrinth of life's milestones, and of the bittersweet passage from childhood to adolescence echoing the resilience required to preserve a semblance of normalcy amidst chaos. The toys, once cherished companions, now stand frozen in time, serving as silent witnesses to the ebbs and flows of youthful discovery. The shoes, worn and weathered, carry the weight of countless journeys—both literal and metaphorical. Video games made up of pixels and polygons gave rise to immersive virtual realms, which paralleled our own journey offering challenges, victories, and lessons in perseverance. All were pivotal to our youthful escapades, now they’ve become symbols of personal evolution, mirroring our transformation from wide-eyed dreamers to individuals navigating the complexities of adulthood.

Ultimately, my art is an ode to the intricate fabrics of existence, woven from threads of childhood wonder, technological leaps, and the paths we tread. It urges viewers to cherish the past, embrace the present, and navigate the future with a renewed sense of self and purpose. Through the amalgamation of 90s toys, video games, and shoes, I aim to not only tell a coming-of-age story but to invite each observer to empathize with the universal themes of transformation and adaptation. The narrative that unfolds is not confined to the borders of Caracas, Venezuela; it's a testament to the human spirit's ability to flourish despite adversity, and a celebration of the indomitable force of nostalgia and growth.
