Alberto Cerritos: Complex Art, Electronic Art and Especulative Expressionism.

Alberto Cerritos is an Universal Artist actually living in British Columbia, Vancouver,
Canada. He is a canadian citizen but he was born in El Salvador. His multidiscipline
creativity comprehend a very extensive production of painting, sculpture, digital work and
murals. He is a Theoricist, Poet and Writer, author of the Theory of Complex Art a theory
in which he talks about the new path as well the labyriths and dynamics in the world of art
today. He defines that passion is the way of todays mind which transforms the coldness
of technology to vibrational fever. He analizes the art responsabilities on the technological
era, when we question traditional values even though they do not to tend dissapear and
are to be enriched instead.
Consequently this Era combines Analitical Synthesis with the free expression of visual
fussions of diverse origin.
His artwork generaly speaking is of a kind of especulative expressionism because he searchs
for simbiosisbetween tecnology elements and cybernetic contributions, with the primitive iconic
mostly fom ancient native cultures. We could say that is from there he gets a remarkable
worlwide character, supporting with force the emblematic painting and signs, nurtured by
contrasted colours,combined with intense digital series, full of metaphores and references
like the one called Narcissus, CyberHeart or Venus through his very extensive digital
production formed by more of forty different series or on his painted canvasses.

He is a comtemporary artist who does not renounce to the past, going into the trails of the
primitivejust to put in evidence the contradictions of the visual art of today. we are living
a very authentic fusion of concepts, but at the same time we verify the escape from historic
reality, creating a labyrinth in which we are going to repeat concepts that in the historic
avant guard we faced with notably depth. Is rom there than Alberto Cerritos prefers to go for
the Social subject,conveying to his cosmic vision world wide intention as well the
preponderance of colour, visceral and passionated understanding formed by millions of
instants and intentions.

There is love, warmth,delicacy and concentrated sensibility in spite of his metaphoric and
technologic expressionismcombined with sparks of enlightened humanism. There is apleiad of
contrasting forms, inside one another, looking for expression inside the incredible variety
of labyrinths which conform visual existence.

He understands than there is not one way but several ones crossing each other, searching
and likening each other in the vibrational pathway of intentions. He does not pretend to
find a middle term, the a half way, the force of determination of the exact ecuation,
but he likes to expand his art, through contrasting forms, looking for
sublime and intense visual moments, to experiment climax more than once. Here it is the most
visceral vein in fron the most analytical edge, all after testing the most expressive of
possibilities of cyberart and painting, his sculpture and murals going through visuality,
just to fing the human pulse the one which says than perfection is in utopia and not the
reason of the intellectual mind.

We are unknown to ourselves. We are living escaping ahead, when is the reality of our hearts
the guiding one in combination with the spiritual one.
Without ideals and energy there were no earth and purpose. If machinery, the dialectics of bit,
the sound of installations and the strength of the new painting of electric expressionism,
the soul of the artist could not exist. And all of this is known by the canadian artist.
