Artist Statement: Fabian Lopez
The process of painting allows me to reinterpret various experiences through diverse
subjects of interest which carry a narrative structure. I am interested in multiple
interpretations of the same event within the space between nonfiction and fiction
in relation to personal events associated by a location. For example, Ernest Hemingway
wrote A Movable Feast many years after his experiences in Paris, France. Hemingway
recalls a vague perception which benefited his autobiographical story, not giving
direct facts nor other people’s point of view. My paintings function in this regard,
the intersection between fabricated narratives based on physical experiences within
a place.
