Most of my work comes from the desire to play with images and themes that represent moments in my life.In the PAINTINGS, I mix traditional oil painting with photography and computer manipulated images to achieve a level of reality and texture.The DIGITAL images are sort of sketches, prints or drawings if you wish that may develope later into paintings.Fantasies, dreams, memories and many elements from popular culture find their place in what I would call: "A collage of the visual arrangements of my mind ". I hope you enjoy them. Bernardo Barreto NYC. June 9, 2006
