about me...I am a storyteller. I am self-taught. I try to allow myself to be guided in my art by my love of history, mythology, religion and folklore. My sculptures are made with found objects and antique items, shaped together until they take form and gain a sense of personality. My paintings are made on wood panel with layers of mixed media elements. The process is intuitive. I follow where the painting leads me. I use my fingers a lot when I paint. This gives me the best possible feel for a piece and allows me to become directly involved in the texture, layering and composition. I take items that are ugly...and flawed and try to make them beautiful... ...and in the process create art that conveys both depth and humor, darkness and light, humanity and divinity. © john christopher borrero + all rights reserved + |
