Those who choose to dedicate their lives to this profession, necessarily exposed to suffering, misunderstanding, especially when the way of his work is determined by a search of profound, intimate and authentic, and not defined more by fashion trends and designs entertainment industry and the global market. In the case of Juan Sisay, we stand before the work of an artist who inherits a name and a pictorial tradition, exploring it and dares to develop and propose from these roots.
After years of telling stories from a purely figurative brush, Juan attempts in this sample a breaking and opens a new window of your inner world ... it left those characters who seem crashed into the canvas ... beings from a glimpse of the unconscious emerges only if one has the courage to stand up and break yourself ... we are facing as a sample, a result of this complex cross which John and dies, another one ...
