David Acevedo's Artist Statemaent

I don’t know if this is going to help you understand my intentions, nevertheless my artwork, but I feel obligated to put it in writing. As an honest man I tell you that I don’t always have a plan. I don’t always anticipate the finale. I, sometimes, ignore the results. I am clueless almost in every stroke. I paint though. This I like to do. My mind flies away to weird places and I try to catch the images, the colors.

Tatooed Perfection

So my statement is…what is my statement? I state that the Surrealists of the world, old and new, had a different brain. Maybe a mind that seems to have a mind of its own. Something unnatural…I believe that some of us are lucky. Some of us have the ability to copy an image with brush strokes and paint onto a piece of stretched canvas fabric. So it’s the brain and the skills of the hand. Can you imagine Dalí with these great visions in his head, but no useful hands to re-create them? I think he would have bled from eyes and ears with agony.

That is why I paint. If I don’t, I suffer. I paint because it is within me like a demonic possession. I feel the need to do it like I need to eat. I wonder if the great painters in history felt the same.

So going back to the statement thing, well…I am still trying to put it in words. It is not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Perhaps one of these days it will all become clear in my head. Maybe soon I will find the reasons and motivation. One of these days I will state my self, expose my insides and show you. For now, let’s just keep it simple. I paint because my brain and my hands force me. I paint because I don’t want to bleed from my eyes and ears in agony. I paint because I am lucky.
