MISSION STATEMENT

There is a somewhat material permanence about the creative process. When you create/document something, you date and time it and thus put it in its own historical place be it personal or on the public timeline.

Modern life presents the human animal with many struggles, burdens, and stresses. People seem to possess an innate desire to escape the daily humdrum and the very ordinary events that embrace them. Stephen Sandoval employs painting, digital photography, mixed media, fax and mobile art to capture the extraordinary, comedic, and celebratory events that can be found in the everyday.

Temporary bliss is what the world seeks so fervidly.
A curious glance. A quick look directly in eye.
A look toward earth. Amazement at sky above.
I dream and sometimes I record my dreams.
That damned lens follows me where I go.
The unexamined life (it has been said) is not worth living.
Did the unrecorded, undocumented life ever really happen?
The documented life is immortality achieved.

Stephen Sandoval,
New York City

Great art is often an accident that happens during a planned execution.
