Adam Flores
Artist Statment
I am influenced from Flemish Baroque painters such as Jacob Jordaens, Peter Paul Reubens, and Jan Van Eyck. I’m really influenced by the compositions and try to mimic them in my own work. I get a lot of inspiration from life in general, walking through the city, people I meet, and jobs and past experiences, all inspire me to create.
Some of the common themes in my work have to deal with a basic idea of man vs. nature, nature taking back, overpopulation, the expansion of huge housing developments continuously plaguing my home town (San Fernando Valley), religion, morality, and the idea of the “American Dream” being unattainable.
Breathtaking talent….
