Artist Statement
Alfredo Correa finds an original song within the depths of human experience. Through his studies with Hopi shamans, he interprets mystical encounters as a painter and sculptor engaging with primitive symbolism, exploring the people and forces that shape collective theology and philosophy to expose falsehoods and reveal the pure poetry of humanity’s fundamental religion. Correa evokes empathy for what has been lost in the modern struggle. His pictorial world seeks self-revelation within collective memory, where original sin repeats itself among the aboriginal peoples of North America, the Maya, Aztec, and Inca, persisting since the primordial stampede that first gave life to microorganisms, larvae, and sperm.
