The Art of Survival and Passions

Vol. 3 No. 1Visual Art
Written By JD Baez

Artist’s Statement

My art captures the unseen narratives within everyday lives moments of struggle, the beauty found in resilience, and the quiet presence of love. I aim to capture the strength we discover within and alongside each other. To give our shadows a voice within the light. To reveal the importance of both in our lives. Inspired by my past experiences, and my journey as a father and husband. I aim to create works that resonate with viewers on a personal level, reflecting the emotions we all carry. How love shapes our deepest passions. My art explores the subtleties of human connection, and the ways in which color and imagery influence our emotions. Using light and shadow as expressive tools. I explore the contrasts we encounter in life, where darkness can reveal comfort and light can unveil truths, conveying the balance we encounter in life. My work is not only a personal story but a collective one, an invitation for viewers to find pieces of themselves within the art.
