My name is Gabriel Chavez, and I currently reside in Ventura, California. My passion has always been in the arts, specifically in drawing and painting. I have originally developed my art through portraiture, and while in college, I utilized colored pencil to make portraits that were photo-based. I continued this and expanded into oil painting, driven by the techniques of the medium and its concepts. A more recent inspiration took place, in which I began to re-access art altogether. After spending a few years diving into metaphysics, I reinformed my paintings with inner vision. Now my primary subjects are abstract, and I focus on the representation of inner reality. I use the traditions of sacred geometry and biomorphic forms which relate to Nature and to the Cosmos at large. Chiaroscuro is also a dominating force in my paintings. Currently, I am working on a new series of abstract paintings that relate to the intimate processes of the Earth and of Life.
