--Al Hatter believes that art is life, there is no ending or finishing point, just a continual process. He capture those magical moments of life, from the obvious that can be seen with the eye, to the visionary that is perceived by the heart and spirit.--Throughout his first stage he was deeply influenced by the great masters of European painters, mainly post-renaissance.-- The great change in his pictorial path took place in Venezuela in 1993 in the Caribbean; he discovered the tropical lights and colours, which allowed him to accomplish a major change in his style. He offers an amazing lyricism by acrylic colours, graded from warm to cool, as well as from light to dark, weaving the layers together to form the impressionistic signature of his paintings, this makes it possible for him to continue, ad infinitum, to the extent of his own universe.

-Recently, I developed a special techniques, using acrylic colors with digital files, after several process I have the finished paintings, what I am trying to do is to benefit from the new digital art technology together with the traditional ways of paintings, I can say that I hold the brush by one hand and some of the digital era tools by the other hand

In my work of art, I abandon the representation of reality, and began to capture those magical and mysterious moments of life, from the obvious that can be seen by my eyes, to the visionary that is perceived by my heart. I do not use color to draw but to give the musical sensation which flows from myself, from mysterious and enigmatic interior, thus allowing the mind to find peace and harmony.

-There is an intention to paint from my memory, which gathers and molds the remembrance of travels, promenades in mysterious old civilizations, and in tropical latitudes. The conventional means of expression is put aside, thus allowing spontaneity with the intention of preserving directness and originality of the living experience.

- I have placed my art into compartments, while maintaining a sense of unity. The small painted panels project a microcosm, each of which emerges from a wide rectangular background, suggesting the macrocosm. Moreover, the small panels reveal a subtle intention to represent the finite world in which we live, and to project it as the result of the infinite creation. Painted compartments differ in shape, movement and palette, sometimes suggesting the continuity of the cosmos; nevertheless, I seek the impressions of the infinite world.

-To describe the spiritual significance of my work, I advocate that the highest meaning of my work of art is always Unity, and showed how it reveals and leads to the principal Unity, and how it reflects the mystery of the manifestation of the One in the many, and the multiplicity in that Unity.
