Impulse

Art 233 Two-Dimensional Advanced Drawing
Through the art of doodling, the artist can unlock the unconscious mind and unleash creative innovation. Doodles allow intuition and emotion to be released in a way that linear processions of words and symbols, or a composition of lines in a drawing, cannot.
Although less technical, this piece is by far the one with the greatest meaning in this portfolio. In approximately 25 inches of paper, Impulse depicts my unconscious without judgment. Between blank stares and mind trances, elements in the surroundings are filtered, and my hands impulsively record those that resonate with my identity. The final result is an abstract reality where scale is subject to my subconscious, and objects and ideas connect in a tangled, yet harmonious, way.
