Campeón

At the core of the artist’s work is an understanding that to properly critique a subject one must do so from the inside out—completely immersing himself in the world of the figure he set out to critique and to embody. The artist, therefore, looks at these hero figures in a reflexive manner—searching for his own worth. Beyond their greatness in the ring, these champions serve as a mirror to our own projections of desire, ambition, and failure. The importance we bestow upon these heroes is the manner in which we create symbols imbued with our own wishes for prowess and invulnerability.
