Jordan Quintero

My work develops organically, of need. Drawing from myriad intellectual and artistic traditions, my practice is an analogue of my journey in search of the bearing and course of contemporary humanity, seen through the lens of my own consciousness and identity. Art to me is essentially an auto-graphy, a self-writing process; it is an existential act, done continually; an existential process. Blending abstraction and representation is a way to investigate the nature of visual (perceived) reality in order to gain perspective on the ever-present enigma of my own self-consciousness. The relationship between consciousness and identity seems to echo all the other resplendent dualisms we are prone to, as a species.
