Mira (Looking Forward) by Eduardo Morales

Mira (Looking Forward)

Acrylic paint on panel canvas

A photo of my eyes was the inspiration for this piece. I painted in pointillism and did not finish it in order to represent my mistakes and constant development. I am and will always be a work that's unfinished, a work in progress.

Identity Statement

I am a man whose ethnicity is from Guatemala. I want to be seen in whatever manner every individual wants to see me without being conformed to a standardized way of perception. An aspect of my lived experiences that can inform of who I am and want to be is my drive to work hard and continue to look for positive ways in developing and refining who I am and the labor I give.

What role does art play in your life?

Art is life. Every single thing is an inspiration for art.
