Naked...

That's how I feel when I show some of my artwork, probably that’s why it took me all this time to post it in my blog.

Hi everyone ! Today I'm presenting some of my pieces from Disforia, the serie that represents my awakening as a fine artist and the beginning of a new career. http://www.uconmag.com/vargas/index.html

People can call me a graphic designer, an illustrator, a print maker, but after Disforia and more than anything I became a storyteller. Disforia is a representation of a journal; an individual diary of personal thought and feeling brought to form, allowing my feelings become the viewer's.

"darkness, loneliness, cold fear, exhaustion and a soft voice whispering on my ear: “virna... virnita...”

I big influence on what I do come from expressionist artists (German Expressionist to be specific) and like them I do seek to bring very basic instincts of the human condition into visual form.

I could not come to this point of discover and experiment without the influence of the greatest Norwegian artist and print maker Edvard Munch; his works and his torment soul have been my inspiration and the key to get where I’m as an artist. Using his own life history which was indicated by suffering, illness, and death, Munch translated personal trauma into unique expressions.
