Artist's Statement and Biography |
Hyper Visualism A New Perspective A New Genre
Artist’s Statement
My art is an exploration of my Hispanic cultural heritage, traditions and History.
I share my art freely to foster a cultural exchange and to initiate a positive educative
process that in the end creates a cultural foundation for Hispanic children who
would come after me.
My inability to perceive primary colors has given birth to a strange new artistic
science and has given form to my new genre, Hyper Visualism; an art that depicts
subjects of our world in an easy way. My intent isn’t to create images that are photo
realistic. My aim is to create images that are instead photo intense.
Artist’s Biography
Ayes was born in New York City. He began drawing when he was three years of
age. He began painting within the medium of oils when he was 14. At the tender age
of 14 Ayes won an honorable mention at the New York International Art Show’s, Da
Vinci Art Competition. Soon his teachers would encourage him to attend the High
School of Visual Arts. There he learned the basics of art and design relative to
advertising art, but his heart was always in fine arts.
He then went to the School of Visual Arts to formally study painting. There he
discovered that they couldn’t teach him because of his color perception deficiency.
Ayes first oil paintings were executed using monochromatic techniques, using one
Color to depict subjects within a full range of values from the color’s lightest to its
darkest tones. Many years were spent in perfecting and analyzing his medium and
how he could push it to its limits. He studied optics and the effects of reflected and
refracted light. Then he began adding more colors to his palette orchestrating a
multitude of variations of monochromatic colors upon his canvases.

Blogging Is Powerful |
I wanted to share with you some good news I received today on my blog at Blogster.com. It concerns my use of Picture Trail's software for presenting my art and photography on Blogster.com. It seems that the presentations have inspired a professor as far as Manila to inspire his students.
His comment says it all:
"This among my favorite visuals on the net. This seems to be contagious: you are "spreading" this syndrome far beyond the US, as you've crossed the Pacific and now it's me the one in 'big trouble' wandering about the whole PictureTrail mystery... Two things:
UNO Wish me good luck (is the minimum you can do after having tempted us with such wonderful presentations.
DOS Will you be kind enough to help me here and there with it? I'd like to build up some presentation on line for the students (see in Linnaeus > Linnaeus: Manila 2007). I think this will motivate them a lot. For the moment I am trying to catch up with the PictureTrail, only if I cannot find my way I'll ask you for some help. VIVA THE SYNDROME!"

"Hi Linnaeus:
I am very honored that you have asked me to give you advice in regard to Picture Trail's in's and out's. I am the sort that just jumps into a software that has been presented on the net to try it out.
Picture Trail's software is fairly easy to use. They have a special program that allows you to upload your images in quantity making the process even easier to handle. Look for it within the page that lets you create your slideshows. The uploader will then place your images in a special folder where the images have been uploaded to. Then you transfer them to your main presentation folder that is viewed by the world on the Net. Once your images have been tranfered then you can begin the process of creating your slide show. It can't get simpler than that. Read every bit of data that is presented on the pages on Picture Trail, this is an important factor in learning the ins and outs within any new software adventure. You can't go wrong."
