Gabriel Navar

j0115834.gif (185 bytes) Part II
Navar investigates themes such as identity, memory, cultural nourishment, dreams and celebration, often employing a male or female figure as an archetypal model. Within these archetypes he is drawn to relationships within ourselves as well as between people and the environment- urban, natural and cosmic. For Navar art is an essential source of his inner energy. It serves as a gateway into a festive state of peace, reflection and education.

"This painting is one of several paintings that I've worked on this Spring and Summer (2003) inspired by dilemmas that often are resolved by sacrificing things that we as individuals and society value (or should, in my opinion, value) most, such as life, peace, love. In the current volatile global climate, certain things that are of utmost importance, such as life and peace, are sacrificed in order to accomplish something or nothing through misunderstandings, injustices and war."

"This painting was created because I wished to explore a different perspective and way of expressing the idea of self-reflection. It is also dealing with the notion of how one sees him/herself reflected from the eyes of others. Sunglasses, like masks, may accentuate and conceal."
