Excerpts from Alvaro Barrington's Artist's Statement, December 2024
'My life is not memories rather their narratives ive told myself about myself
Figuring it out is hard and I'm sorry'
'Art is about learning how to be, Painting is about what's in front of you, it's about learning to see/'
'LISTEN/
"You've got to give them something special, you got to give them you, what you do, what you represent"'
'Don't restate what someone has already said when you can say something new and more relevant/
Take something do something to it then do something to it/'
'It's impossible being a human being
Artist or brand'
'Artist should not look to the right or left. Art should be strong and non-conformist and most importantly should always be personal.'
'The art lies in concealing the art'
