Gabriel Trevino is a self taught artist living in Brownsville, TX.His early work began in a solo exhibition at the University of Texas at Brownsville in 1998 recognized by artist Carlos Gomez. For over 23 years his work has been part of several group and solo exhibitions throughout South Texas and Northern Mexico. The art of Gabriel Trevino has also been published in news papers, books & magazines including the  UNAM about border history and culture. His works are in  several private collections and public displays including ongoing exhibition at ROCA at George Ramirez Performing Arts Academy - Downtown Brownsville, Texas - 2023 - 2024.You can follow Gabriel Trevino at on Facebook and Instagram.https://www.facebook.com/art.gabriel.trevino?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.instagram.com/brownsvilleartform?igsh=MXFmbm5ianlmMTk5eg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr . . Anthony Antonio Antinori Hernandez: My iconography and my technique have changed along with the mishaps that have happened in the world where I now live. The laws of my paintings have a story that is followed from phase to phase; like a chess game or like a poem, they are executed with great science. At times my artwork is seen and spoken with irrepresentable icons; it's like if I was alone all by myself, it's like if I was running an errant, it's if I see and at the same time don't see things, as if I was surrounded by large transparencies and layers. We must understand that my function as an artist / painter is to make things been seen by the receptor. I try to be like an alarm that enjoys my paintings or that it enjoys knowing their aesthetics, but enjoys more the responsibility of a needed consciousness . In my paintings there is a kind of a dialogue or feedback between representing my feelings and emotions and portraying the other side of me as an artist / painter. I almost always try to present the form of things, and that form is just a moment of the history of those things. Like portraying a frozen world; meanwhile, in reality everything flows and be able to see that those things are transforming and living. As Human beings, we must give value to the differences and not to the similarities. The more diverse our expressions are portrayed, the more cultured a society becomes. Thus, to me art is the highest expression of freedom . You can follow Antonio Antinori on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antinoritony/ https://www.facebook.com/aaantinori.180 . . .
