Sometimes, a river or a mountain range will determine the border between peoples. Sometimes, a border is only the ink of a line drawn by a man.
- Jesus De La Rosa
Jesus' work is not specifically about this region of the world. Jesus' art includes abstraction and landscape. Building up luminous surfaces with a wide variety of media, one could even say that he is not so much painting as he is assembling. Layering and even carving back into these "crusts" Jesus' process reveals a mind navigating directly through the depths of the subconscious.
