Art adds attraction and wonder to anything we can explore. Conjointly art reflects us the mood and the feelings of the creative person. Someone said, “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home”. Art assists one to forget about everything that made them feel low because their mind turns into a flying bird, from tree to tree, checking out an area wherever they will feel safe from the dangers of life.
Jose Cacho is a Mexican Artist who aims to promote the strength of femineity through his artistry. Although, he eventually introduced other elements, the women across the globe are his greatest source of inspiration. Through women, he captures beautiful, fantastic, and metaphorical visions of life. His current works are based on the mixture of the development of his techniques, taking elements of creation. Taking inspirations from artists like Gustav Klimt, Banksy, Rafael Cauduro and some sparks of things he finds in his daily life, whether in an exhibition, in a museum or just walking down the street.
He started to draw since he was very young, without realizing it or having it as a goal. He continued to do so until he became interested in the use of art materials. Jose likes to produce artworks without any specific aim or goal. He likes to go with the flow and enjoys as it’s takes a shape. The pandemic has opened a door to refocus the way he lived his daily life. The confinement has represented the possibility of having more time to carry out his productive activities. It has given him the space to develop and fundamentally improve two techniques; DeepArt, a technique in which he worked by adding layers of resin and artistic materials alternately until he achieved an unprecedented depth and luminosity and FastRust, another technique which is based on mixing of mineral, acrylic and oxidizing materials to achieve the appearance of the passage of time and deterioration, which plays a fundamental role.
When asked what makes him feel proud, he adds that his family is his greatest support and something he is proud of. There is no space in which he feels more satisfied and comfortable than when he is accompanied with them. Professionally, his family is now all-around art together, creating, managing and promoting what they do as a team is simply fantastic, sharing their time, energy and dreams is the most powerful engine that he has found not only in his artistic career but also in the holistic model of his life.
His greatest inspiration is women. He has lived surrounded by incredible, strong, intelligent, exemplary women. They have been his guide in this journey. In his work, women play a central role in the representation of the most valuable in life, far beyond the aesthetic, which is undoubtedly beautiful. The feminine represents not only the creative capacity but also the integration of a solid and lasting way to society. He is convinced that the role of women in our environment has a potential that men hardly imagine. He says, “In my work, the woman is the center of the universe”.
His message to the fellow artists is, “I have always thought that we are born artists. From childhood we human beings enjoy music by listening to lullabies that calm us, we scribbled throughout the house, we danced moving to the rhythm of what our parents listen, we made figures with plasticine and castles in the sand. As we grow up, we become serious people who do important things in the opinion of adults and most cases art is not seen as one of them. In my opinion, the importance of promoting art during childhood and adolescence lies in giving people the opportunity to continue to enjoy their childhood forever, to continually return to our origin. Art is a space of joy, meditation, and inner development that is worth exploring from a young age.”
