Techniques and Media
Most of JoseV's art is created on canvas. Some, as in his original piece "Slow Death" pictured here (above right , was created on copy paper with ink pens and "Sharpies". Other media JoseV uses includes acrylic, water and oil based paints, indian ink, heavy gel, foam, and caulk. Many pieces have also been enhanced with sand, sea shells, glitter, rhinestones and sequins.
Random pieces of art include colorful hearts with various electro-cardiographic rhythms, faces, his "Rhythmic Guitar" line and various abstract pieces.
JoseV has had no formal art training. He has always enjoyed drawing in his spare time and has a natural talent for combining color schemes and designs. It wasn't until he created this drawing in the summer of 2006 that he was encouraged to take his art seriously.
