Paintings by: Miguel Hernández

 

Ebb & Flow, a series of new oil paintings by Miguel Hernández, takes the maritime culture of Nantucket Island as its subject, in particular it’s boats and water.

Hernández, an urban-dwelling artist, takes regular pilgrimages outside of his city habitat to refresh his art and body and to absorb energies that are unique to the places he visits.

Miguel is a quiet man of few words and is not one to run on in conversation; there is not much he will tell you about himself. Miguel is most fluent in visual language and it is through his painting that he speaks. When he does speak, he speaks about environment and the inseparable relationship between people and their surroundings, whether they are natives to a place or visitors. Miguel believes that all people have a duty to be stewards of the places that they visit. If people honor this duty they will reap the rewards that a healthy environment can return: peace and solitude, healing and harvest. The paintings in the Ebb & Flow series depict these rewards in the light and color that is captured in them and reflected back off of the canvases. They are images for reflection and contemplation that provide a space in which to relax and heal.
