Artist Statement

Artist Statement

I am a New York artist now based in San Diego, California, who, through my work, seeks to utilize various harmonies and ideas to visually engage the audience.  I also use my art as an opportunity to experiment with the range of possibilities allowed through my choice of materials, spray paint and hand cut stencils.

My work captures spaces of partial or full illumination between the perfect shadows on all sides of a person or an object.  The artwork conveys the real beauty of the subject.  The viewer is able to appreciate the simplicity, splendor and exquisiteness of my work and the subject.  The work is raw, it’s stripped back, it’s honest.

I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.

How It Is Made:

I hand cut the stencils out, no matter how big, with an X-Acto knife.  Yes, even the 8ft x 10ft wall murals are all done with the same attention to detail.  I then use the stencils to create the pieces you see on this site.  Here is a quick video that shows the way I do this.  —>  https://youtu.be/xLBtjNNLmMk

    Quoting you Ray, “I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.”

    Wow, I watched the time-lapse video and I can’t imagine how you can do that.

    I have a couple photos on my site which I think are pretty awesome If you ever feel the desire to do one you have my blessing all the way. I don’t copy write my photos and my work is there for the giving in all aspects. My favourites being the deep red sunset which is in several posts , and the rifle in my recent post, “Simple things and simple minds”

    Again I really appreciate your work Ray

    Amen to your statement about how the art has to stand on its own merit and not be propped up by philosophical slight of hand. I like the impact your art has – very direct. – Ann

  65. Fascinating artwork!

  66. imeau says:

  67. sonofabbasblog says:

    awesome visuals

  68. silverliningsanddustbunnies says:

    I looked at some of your work, and like it very much! I love that you are “self taught” – that keeps your art fresh and vibrant, and when you express your emotions they come through without preconceived ideas of what should and shouldn’t be! Thanks for letting me in to a small corner of your world today!

  69. judyjourneys says:

    Our common denominator is honesty in our art forms. I am glad to find it in yours. Also, I am anxious to pass along your technique to my grandchildren, who are budding artists.

  70. thinkmartialarts says:

    I have stalked your Facebook page and here too so I just want to say you are one seriously amazing artist. And…..you got your shit together too 🙂 How to finish…..I’d say best of luck, but you don’t need any. Kiley.

  75. Yes your work is AWESOME! I never considered this art medium but after watching you I certainly would like to try.

  76. rachelmich17 says:

    Hi! Your work is cool.

  77. jsspec says:

    enjoying ur art!

  78. I love the statement on the front of your page, “Emotion On Canvas.” Looking through your work I saw exactly that. Congrats on SXSW! I hope it was a great experience.

  79. kareneller7 says:

    You are an amazing artist! I am by no means an artist, but I do a lot of arts & crafts, so I really appreciate your gift and talent. Wow! Loved watching the time-lapse video.

  80. Have you painted anything in the DC area? Your work is technically perfect and just beautifully amazing! Are you self-taught? I’m just super impressed–I’m so glad you visited my blog so I could find yours.

  81. tildanamu says:

    Great work, I’d love to see it some walls in my urban area. If you ever make another Cyndi Lauper work let me know, give me first options.

  82. W.D. says:

    I find your technique and your end product to be captivating and sincere. I wish you continued success and a waterfall of ideas for the future.

  88. Sarah says:

    My God! You’re amazingly talented, so happy to have came across your blog.
    Regards, Sarah. 🙂

  89. Thanks for visiting our blog. Your work is fascinating. I like how you speak of a focus on “the illumination of shadows” in your subjects. As a theologian and spiritual person, these words have a deep resonance for me–investigating the shadows in our lives helps us to more deeply appreciate the light. I especially like the “Journey Home” piece that you recently featured. Thanks!

  91. I can’t ice skate. Olympic skaters make me believe I can. Watching them I feel as if I could glide flawlessly across the ice. I watched your youtube video. You’re like an ice skater. Your work, though seemingly simple, cannot be duplicated. Your pieces are quite spectacular and honestly presented. Thank you sharing your techniques and your talents.

    Stand Strong You Are Not Alone

    I call you a survivor, because that is what you are. There are days when you don’t feel like a survivor and there are days when the memories trigger your past and it feels like you are loosing the fight – but you are not. Take the past and heal with it. You are strong. I want you to know that the abuse was not your fault. It does not matter what age it happened. You did not deserve it, you did not cause it, and you did not bring it on yourself. You own no shame, guilt, or remorse. In your life, you have faced many demons but look around you and you will see there is hope, and there is beauty. You are beautiful, You are loved, there is hope. You deserve to be loved and treated with respect. You deserve peace and joy in your life. Don’t settle for anything less than that. God has plans for you. Your future does not have to be dictated by your past.

    Each step you take you are not alone.

    Stand Strong.

    Love your artwork! Love the I Love Lucy!! 🙂

  101. memo5209 says:

    Thank you for your Artistic Statement. Art can’t simply be art anymore? Well, I’m glad you disentangled your brain from complex Art theory and aimed to work with the tools of whichever trade you choose to do, by maintenance of flavor and balance.

  102. Jenn Balagot says:

    Your work is amazing. 🙂

  103. Alma Thadeau says:

    Love your work! Would fit soooo perfectly in Wynwood Art District, Miami.

  110. wendysmullin says:

    I love your work. It is an incredible use of a gift you have been given. Creating is the desire we all have. In your creations you put your heart and soul, it is very obvious by the quality and beauty. Best wishes always from someone who admires because their gifts lie in different places 🙂

  115. alcirose says:

    You made my night 🙂

  116. Ray, your art is really good! I come from a family of artists (one part-time, one full-time, and one occasional, if that makes any sense) with very diverging ideas about art, and we often disagree. I happen to feel that creating good art is a gift (i.e. not everyone can do it), and I love your statement: “I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.”

  117. afsheenanjum says:

  142. Robbi says:

    I do think your artist statement is great and cuts through the overly arty fartyness and intellectual justification that pervades so much Art. Your work is really accessible so allows people to easily interact with it.

  153. Granite Jet says:

    “I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.” Yes! Now there’s an artist I can completely respect. These images are amazing, especially once you find out that they were skillfully made with stencils and spray paint. Unique AND pleasing to the eye.

  154. Miss Misfit says:

    Wow! So fun and beautiful and a million other adjectives! looking forward to all your adventures… Art is life!

  155. Angel Pricer says:

    Emotion on Canvas…a tag line that captures my heart and the art you create. Simply beautiful!

  157. Dude! Your work is amaze-balls! And I don’t use that term lightly!

    Seriously. Wow.

    Xxoo

  158. Faye G says:

    An award for you!

  199. ginachoward says:

    My art uses words and I have tremendous respect for people who can create using images. I gained an even greater appreciation for your work after watching your video. I’ll enjoy seeing your other pieces take shape.

  200. Kelley Bode says:

  204. cookazido says:

    You do such beautiful work! I am amazed it is spray painted. I especially was touched by the one about praying for Syria.

  205. You are doing it. Keep on. Your art is a gift to folks.

    You have some very interesting images and I am very interested in how light plays on a subject, which is what you portray in your work.

  210. Stunning, unusual, soulful, wonderful artwork!

  211. We love your work and so does Mom. We’re not artists, but we love to talk about things and Mom says that’s an “art”. We don’t know what she means by that.

  230. dietbeach says:

    I am also a BIG fan of spray paint and stencils in addition to food, looking forward to checking out your artwork.

  231. madamestyx says:

    Love your work, Ray. Great to see the attention to detail. Beautiful.

  232. NativeNM says:

    I had to show your blog it to my son who appreciates your style of art! He collects old broken skateboards and paints them which reminds me a little of your work! Will be stopping by to see more!

  233. You do outstanding work!

  234. julyaoui says:

    your work is mesmerizing. Gorgeous. Awesome.

  235. I must say, your work is mesmerising.

  236. jsletto says:

    You are awesome!

  237. LOVE this: “I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images.” Rock on!

  238. likeamagnet says:

    Just thought I’d throw my voice into the chorus here – your work is awesome – very soulful and well done!

  239. Roho Ya Chui says:

    You work is beautiful!

  240. I love your artist statement, and the wonderful art in your blog. Your work is inspirational.

  241. sharonmasige says:

    Your artwork is simply amazing.

  242. I am in agreement with your artist’s statement… I think it holds true for all art, not just images… the work stands (or doesn’t) on its own… and no theory can substitute for the power and “rightness” of the art itself.

  243. Hi Ray, LOVE the Nirvana spray paint!

  244. atempleton says:

    Didn’t realize spray paint could be used to this effect. I particularly like Diner Stools and Dance.

  245. lazydazyjlea says:

    Like your work; it is unique.

  246. I just checked out your work, and i’m impressed. It reminded me a bit of Banksy’s work. How about bringing your art out to Peru??

  247. woodtroll says:

    Very nice work! Keep it up!

  248. Joanne says:

    How beautiful!

  249. Forgive me – I meant “Ray”. *blush*

  255. laryter says:

    You artwork is great, simple and vivid

  256. Truly awesome work! You inspire me to write: “Beauty drives copies of itself.” But why bother: a thousand words is too much work. I’m following your blog.

  257. You work is fantastic! I loved everyone of your pieces and will definitely be back.

  261. Ever thought of spray painting a horse portrait? 😉 … Be well, Dorothy 🙂

  262. Katie Prescott Beasley says:

    I am enjoying looking through your work, but I have to admit, I am a real idiot when it comes to art. I’m not sure how I wound up so under-educated on the subject! I like the pieces featuring instruments like “Soul” and “Guitar”, but my very favorite is “Youth”. I remember those days–and as I’m typing this, my young daughter is tap dancing in the living room but for some reason she took off most of her clothes for the performance. 🙂

  263. I love the pieces I have seen on your blog so far! Can’t wait to see what you post next.

  264. jgrozny says:

If I can start selling then I can buy one of your pieces! Or I’d have you do one of my horses or “The Sundogs”:)

  299. Ray Luke says:

    You do great work; look forward to learning more about you and your projects.

  300. cmfrazier says:

    I’ve loved looking around your site! Your work reminds me a bit of Banksy. I was fortunate enough to live in Bristol, England when he “took over” the Bristol Museum. I love how your work picks up the beauty in graphic street art! Look forward to continuing to follow what you are doing. -Margaret

  304. Piscis says:

    Ah, stencils! Do you cut them out by eye, hand-draw them first, or use blown-up photographs?

  305. tonicscale says:

    Awesome! I feel the same about music! Freedom and expression to veer from the standard is the only way I’ve been able to roll with music for over 50 years… Awesome Work… Thanks…

  306. Archie Kins says:

  311. wildinvirginia says:

  324. Love your art work, stunning…

  325. Sarah Pinho says:

    This is exactly the type of work I would like adorning my own walls one day. I’m in moving transition right now, but do you sell pieces you’ve already done, or only do work on a per-commission basis?

  326. The Nashville Reader says:

    Fantastically compelling pictures. I can’t help but feel this is the kind of thing the world needs to see a lot more of.

    I love your artwork.

  368. Still Times says:

    I love your artwork. The most amazing thing to me is that you do it with spray can’s (I know stencil too). The last time I had a spray can in my hand was when I was 16, rebellious, & in a destructive mode. I would join the boys to spray paint Homies or pachucos (spanish slang) on available walls.

    I am now 44 and admire art from the audience instead. Thank you for sharing your artwork with us.

    I have nominated you for the Beautiful Blogger Award.

    great work!! its interesting to see you do stencil work ; exactly what I do, only you specialize on faces and emotions. Great detailing and especially the eyes which are the soul of a portrait. I admire your talent…first cutting a stencil of a portrait and then spray painting and then coming up with such great expressions in your art.

  383. Pat Kammer says:

    Your ability to bring a flat surface to life makes your artistry a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you so much for creating these amazing works of art — and for sharing them, too!

    Recently we did a ‘Cardboard City’ project where we campaigned for awareness of the issue of homelessness in which we slept rough in cardboard for the night. It’d be amazing to get in touch and use your art for when we get funding to do another similar project.

But we don’t know if we can afford you. 🙂 But who knows? With God, all things are possible. May God continue to bless you as you touch the lives of others with your awesome art! 🙂
