Portrait Society, Milwaukee. 2015

Curated by Claudia Arzeno

In an effort to be more self-aware, Velez asks himself why he keeps going back to certain sources of inspiration. The findings were then translated into new portraits, flower paintings, abstracted depictions of the body and photo collages that function as a fractured narrative in which the dynamics of personal space and platonic relationships are blurred.
