"Often there is no pattern or merit to the art I enjoy creating. Static images flood my daydreams and then find their way into the real world by means that I'm not sure I understand. I find comfort in the strange and dark faces I recreate on my canvas. It seems that no matter what their expression might be, I feel excited bringing life to a stranger's face. My clayboard work is a nostalgic look back at the art that surrounds my culture and one of my childhood obsessions; stories of tragic love. By far nostalgia is my favorite emotion, taking me back to moments when my imagination was very real. The process can seem painstaking but getting lost when I'm rendering is indescribable. I love all the spoils and splendors of making art." –SiMON Sotello
