Armando Chacon

Description

Welcome to the world of Armando Chacon, a local South Florida Artist who was born and raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala. He is a young surrealist artist who was greatly influenced by various masters of the Surreal movement, in particular Salvador Dali. From a young age, Armando also studied Magritte, Miro and Chirico which helped him to gain an understanding of how to establish composition, perspective, and color harmony. The mood and psychological meanings inherent in these works, which were symbolic of the 1920's and 30's, have influenced Armando to use his works to express similar representations of our present times. One example is the work "America's Reality", which is based the events of September 11, 2001. The mood of this work identified with the melancholy and sorrow of a country in pain. Armando is also influenced by the ancient glyphs of the Mayan culture. His paintings combine surreal landscapes with uniquely created symbols he terms the "Soul" and the "Spirit". The most apparent symbol is the blue-green sphere which embodies the soul of an individual. The soul is a fragile and liquid object that symbolizes how delicate our existence is in this world. The spirit, which includes an assortment of earth toned, hard-edged objects, represents an individual's connection with God. These geometric shapes, which often go hand-in-hand with the soul, suggest that they both rely on each other for their existence...
