Cuban artist Eugenio Cesar at the Front Room Gallery, November 1 – 24, 2018.

Artist Statement

I am always amazed by the lines and curves, the structures and the landscapes and of course the colors. The first picture is composed with my eyes, and then printed in my brain. I shoot with my camera and that’s where it starts. She and I are one. I ask the world questions and it responds loaded with colors, forms and personal secrets, often enigmatic as my own self. My brain makes my finger press the shutter automatically.

I use my skills to peel back every layer of the objects and show me what they know and what they hold back. With my work I try to break the laws of physics themselves and I fuse with lights that I find at night that transforms the object into lines and forms. In that unique and precise moment: I shoot.

My photography could be defined mostly as nocturnal and with my technique I play with the frame, speed and sensitivity until I determine the correct exposure value. I speak to the world through my camera, and in return I capture an intimate view of the object as a result of our digital chat: an iconic image that will never be seen quite the same way again.
