Season 1, 2022
You do not have to see the whole thing. You only have to take two steps.
One. Two. Go.
That is the entire philosophy. Not the finished painting, not the completed life, not the version of yourself that has already figured everything out. Just the next two steps. Just enough to begin. Uno Dos was painted from that place, the place right before the leap, when the unknown is enormous and the only way through is to stop looking at all of it and just move.
The canvas is pure kinetic energy. Crimson and white marks tear across a deep red field with the urgency of someone who stopped waiting for permission. The graffiti-influenced linework loops and crosses and accelerates, layered over itself the way thoughts layer when you finally commit to something and everything starts moving at once. There is no hesitation in these marks. There could not be. Hesitation and this painting cannot exist in the same space.
This is a painting for the person standing at the edge of something. The new city, the new career, the relationship they are terrified to end or begin, the canvas they have not touched in a decade. It does not tell you it will be fine. It tells you to go anyway. It tells you that the first two steps are the only ones that matter right now and the rest will reveal itself once you are already moving.
One. Two. Go.
At 24 x 17½ inches, Uno Dos is intimate and explosive in equal measure. It belongs somewhere you see it first thing. Somewhere it can do its work on you daily.
