Artist’s Statement
by Gustavo López Armentí­a

November 2000
New York

I am a very curious person; I am interested in several artistic disciplines.I could say, that since I started, I have been changing, evolving, growing and expanding my vision of art. I am getting closer to art contemporaneous with my time, in that I include the new languages and elements that interested me, in cultural art including objects, paintings, computation, video and installations. I am very interested in the situation of the human beings in the world, but not only the present. Thru my work, I keep reminding the viewer of everything that has happened in the past. This includes the cultural movements that have existed. I believe that in any period, art is the consequence of the accumulation of information from different cultures. That is a real passion for me. In my work I always explore different disciplines of cultural art. Everything appears like a language that accumulates in me and thru my art I can transmit these sensations that I feel to others. Basically, I like to put together what I have in my inner memory. In other words, a person should perceive things that are fundamentals. That art has meaning, and that its explanation is what offers us the most elemental of things that everybody needs, "Authentic communication". This is the language I want to incorporate in my work.
