4 e-Art Ebooks by Roland Salazar Rose

4 e-Art Ebooks by Roland Salazar Rose

I find the term e-Art rather exciting and something very unique. Although I believe this term is not new, I still find it quite an interesting approach in exploring the world of art. Here you will have 3 e-Art ebooks in PDF format, created, illustrated and compiled by Roland Salazar Rose. Without further adue, the 3 ebooks are as follow:-

e-Art Ebook 1: If Only…
“Ironically, this splendid marriage of image and word sprung out of the need to confront the end of a marriage. This is what artists do with sorrow and loss: they create beauty and meaning. Salazar’s paintings are stirring and original. Pearlman’s verses are the perfect complements to the images. Pearlman the poet captures some small suggestion in each of Salazar’s richly painted pictures and develops it into a succinct, musical quatrain that somehow evokes the feeling of the picture and yet still allows the viewer his or her own experience. By themselves, the pieces work well, but together the images and poems create a moving testament of the power of love to move beyond heartbreak into something grander than it ever was.”
Pat MacEnulty PhD, Author of Time to Say Goodbye

Mexican Secrets – e-Artbook

Mexican Secrets – e-Artbook
by Roland Salazar Rose

Mexican Secrets—is that it? Simply divulge what you are about in words and images sir, walk away from the pit you have dug for your self in life? No, I think, not!

For if you must carry secrets as baggage in your journey down life’s pathway you must recognize as well that it isn’t easy to toss the secrets aside, walk away, just as it is equally difficult to schlep them forward. It appears impossible to rid yourself of the meaning you have placed on them—indeed, stamped on them—they continue to ensnare you: another burdensome self-inflicted piece of baggage.

No matter what means of action you take you live with the past secrets in the here and now. You must shoulder them and bear on. As ‘life is for living’ you may in fact encumber your thirst for it by tasting the bitter pill it possesses.

Chapapote: A Mexican Elixir

Chapapote: A Mexican Elixir

Chapapote: A Mexican Elixir
by Roland Salazar Rose

I think I have exposed what attributes chapapote has as a painting medium on paper and hardboard and displayed some suitable examples in this book. I am now considering ‘moving on.’ It has been fun and a challenge to engage with a material that seemed to have no artistic value whatsoever. In fact, most artists cringe when I say I am using tar in my paintings. That is not to say that there has never been anyone who hasn’t employed tar as a medium.

Soul Art: The Chaos Trilogy

Soul Art: The Chaos Trilogy

The Chaos Trilogy
by Roland Salazar Rose

Review by Cheri Long.

Once in a long decade or two, an artist emerges with something to say which we need to hear at this very moment. He speaks to our grappling for understanding of the world; he nudges our emotions and awakens the ability to question, to seek the great “aha” in the midst of whirling confusion. Roland Salazar Rose is such an artist: he has become a soul painter.

Aztec Deities Series
by Roland Salazar Rose

From the author…

Why did I do the Aztec Deities Series when obviously I could never present a true appreciation of the majesty of this time in history? I didn’t research the mythology on the God Tonatiuh, which translates as “He Who Makes the Day” and use this as a basis for the painting. I let my imagination take hold and this guided me to represent the gods.

Clearly this work represents a “gringo” contemporary artist’s understanding and view of a period in history when gods & goddesses abounded and when a vast military and civil society was destroyed for ‘conquest: for gold’ and in the name of church and state.

As for me, I did not seek out the gods and goddess; they came to me!
