  About the artist:
  Christian Aaron Mendoza is a New York City based Artist & Designer from Nicaragua whose work draws from early Experiences with Nature, Architecture, Art History, Books, and influences of New York City, Miami, Tokyo and his Travels. Mendoza’s style bridges the Modern,Primitive, and Organic. He draws strongly on the nature and folklore of his Latin American Heritage and his World Wide Studies while interpreting the density and chaos of daily urban life.
  
  In the 1980’s his family moved to The Bronx where Mendoza began to develop a style that combining Architectural Draftsmanship, Collage & with the new inspirations of Museums, Libraries, Galleries, letters, faces, and forms that then covered the Subways of the City. At a young Age, he learned Drafting and about Architecture from his father. This inspiration brought Mendoza to the study of Ancient Civilizations, Hieroglyphs, Petroglyphs, Calligraphies, and Alphabets from both past and Modern Cultures in the Americas. With great dedication he continued his study of World Alphabets, Art History, Color, light Energy and Movement, working in a range of styles that culminate all the influences of his early development.
  
  His paintings are grounded with descriptive line work that creates a sense of movement and energy. A Visual manifestation of the sonic combinations found in early Electronic Music, Comic Books & early Analog Hip-Hop mix tapes and performances emanate from his surfaces. Interchangeability between the sense of visual and audio is an artistic subject that has been pursued universally and historically, and Mendoza’s practice can also be positioned in that context. It is something that goes beyond an ordinary world that an individual perceives through the five senses, instead, it enables an individual to access the supernatural/ mythological world through so-called collective unconsciousness. Science-fictional elements that can often be seen in Mendoza’s works function as motives to emerge such a mythological world from the mixture of ancient culture and urban life experience that are his resources of inspiration.
  
  Artist Statement:
  My paintings are grounded with non-narrative descriptive and/or iconographic line work that creates a sense of movement, energy and abstract stories. Much of my symbolic information is my visual experimentation with different sounds, researching, reading books,Sketching, taking photographs, the noise of the city and its broken symphony and musical performances I attend. Music plays a vital role in my creative process. To me, drawing is a blue print for all things to be able to exist. This is the way I have a dialogue with myself; a way to write down plans and ideas that come to me in the daily act of living. By drawing, visualizing and composing abstract concepts in my mind, and on paper I am reminded of my daily habits, a common thread of the human condition. Time Changes and Every Second Becomes An Indelible Light Mechanism."
