SHORT ARTIST STATEMENT: STEPHEN CAPIZ

My mission is to create paintings and artwork that are representative of motion in both nature and human form. My abstract paintings are kinetic blurs and are meant to evoke emotion and a sense of curiosity, while also providing a sense of refreshing energy. I was a first generation child of immigrant parents from Mexico City and have been painting nearly 60 years, since I was a teenager. My art has very much evolved with me over the years and has taken on many forms and dimensions, although it has remained grounded in a contemporary visual language. Exploring the dualities and labyrinths of who I am has helped to reveal the unique thumbprint I leave on each piece.
