Duality 1: Current Beneath the Surface, 65x85 inches [Large Painting], Acrylics & Oil-based Pastels. The Poem: Throughout my life I’ve been looking for a source of reliance, of resilience, of endurance, And perseverance… in the deepest of my soul I’ve encountered my insignia, my identity, my assurance to believe, this is what I was meant to do, This is what I was born to be. La Historia: ”Encerrado entre cuatro paredes obstruía el paso a la creatividad, al deseo de triunfar en el aquí y en el ahora… pero entonces, desgarré mi piel con lanzas de metal que desparramaron ríos de esperanza para evolucionar y transmutar mi tristeza en lo que realmente me hace feliz.” -Chris Soto-
