Collection: Herbert

I’m Herbert, my artistic name is named after a deep thought trough life, my favorite music of all time is from Mathew Herbert, I don't know him, but his music is with me since the first listening, it’s connected to my past nightlife style, to this day I still have connection with that, who hasn’t has the connection to his past? I’m sure i did a lot of difficult choices trough life, like you did, so the part that’s is in the past of me didn’t died, it’s in me, it’s built on me, I had to make choices especially the hard one’s, and some years later I faced my own judgment of my choices, what I have to do to have my head looking forward and be proud of myself in a matter that all the things I have been all this years, was a learning stage to begin.

I started to draw seriously since I was twelve years old, one of my best friends in that time was and he still is one of the best artist’s that I know, hard working guy, you see without hard think on this we barely can move on with things, passion is a drive to help with this, but he had a tremendous hard time and never quit, I see myself on that. To begin I just moved from another part of the city and i missed him and other people as well so i started to do some Lettering to my friends in the new school, they started to like and it just begun my journey to this life. Later i found fascinating graffiti and used to pick up markers and draw on the wall. Then some years later i finished junior year with one of the best grades in class on art class. In that year i had to go to high school, I wanted art course, but in the tree schools I had choose to go neither had a spot for me, so one the school’s presented me this professional course known as ”Digital Drawing and 3-D” I have no choice and I started that course.

In the first year we were 31 student’s in the class, we have finished the year with 5 student’s including me, i had a good time with that classes, but something happened in that time for me, really hard stuff, so in the last 3 years i didn’t went to the classes, so started my journey in the nightlife in the cities around and my own, i have work for clubs for 4 years, I have enjoyed my time back then, so if I had to choose between good times in now, what you think it will be? I choose now, grateful for everybody that I have engaged with, grateful for the friendships I still have, grateful for my family that did the most effort to support me.

Basically i had almost stop to draw, paint and stuff, and somehow i became very judgemental to what i had to do to pursue my dreams, most of my friends helped me out to figure out, and they always told me to push the reset button and create art, but I wasn’t convinced so I bought a turn table and started to djiing, one year later i thought this isn’t for me, so I decided to start taking photography, that I still do to this day.But then one good friend of me, who was present most of this times he started to paint and he motivated me to do the same and I wasn’t convinced at first. but one or two years later, my sister came by to visit us for Christmas and i was feeling so confused about my job in that time, but i was feeling loved, my family was reunited again 3 years later, I was filling fulfilled, and I was always thriving for what to do next, so I was on YT listening music, and in that time i started to ear Billie Eilish, and on 28th December 2020 I listened to ”everything I wanted” the version without the video, just a image, if you want to know what I have seen, go for it. It just clicked, immediately i went to buy paint, canvas, and started to paint with a cellphone box, no brush just the box.

In the last 3 years and something I probably painted almost tree hundred paintings, it was hard to find what I have to do, I tried other stuff but it clicked in the way… oh man… so it was a therapy for me and it still is, but now I paint all the weeks, its really rare when i don't paint, I still have my job, Monday to Saturday, go out with friends but Sunday is may day, like today.

In the last year I have participated in three exhibitions, Milan, Fuerte-Ventura and Barcelona, And this is just the beginning, stay with me to know more about my story, our story.
