Curatorship statement
Inner Dimensions
A thought provoking body of work; subject matter varying from the extremely abstract to the subtly representational; although one thing has remained constant: the inner dimensions that runs through it; sideral spaces expressing a revelation of feeling closely aligned with the transparencies of the color; the imagery ranging from fluidity to almost geometrical marks evoking profound emotional landscapes.
The artist is having a conversation with us, quiet, there is no need for words.
Mariza Sanchez,
Artist and Curator
Artist statement:
“Truly my life justly has been given meaning by the discovery that I have synesthesia. Justly my dreams that I had been having forever were nicely given a way to see the light of day when my mom encouraged me to paint my dreams. My truly great ability is to read people’s emotions and translate them in my dreams into glorious paintings, realizing their true self. My ability to paint the colors I see in my dreams is the greatest gift I have. I frankly greatly hope my paintings inspire only the good in people.” – Jeremy Sicile-Kira

Jeremy, I wish you the very best for your opening and your show. I think that I have had synesthesia a few times when I was in college, but it was drug induced (back in the 1960's). It was so awesome, and I am so glad you "found your groove" with painting your dreams. This show will be an amazing affirmation to you as an individual and an artist. Good luck

ooooh, I like that one! ooooohhhhh, that's nice, too! ooooh wow, those are great colors!
wow, i love how the background on that one sets off that blast of color! Oh yes, I think I would like his dad if I met him, who knew I could like green so much! That one just makes me feel good! I could stare at that one all day! and so on, and so on, and so on.
Just fabulous, Jeremy. I haven't seen such striking art in a long while!
