About Me

My name is Lee  a Canadian self-taught artist who has been drawing since the young age under the Psuedonym “ Bernobayobaylee” . I mainly practice in the form of abstraction, minimalism, and realism, and got my creative start in detailed illustration. My name comes from the stadium the “Santiago Bernabeu” a stadium in Spain. This stadium hosted two international soccer tournaments and is well known stadium that in my mind represents a symbol of “ Universal, life , events etc” that represents my artwork. In my early work I focused on the aspects of community and communication between people. After being intrigued in philosophy I began to translate my creative writing in philosophy into visual imagery and poectics. When I am thinking about a scene within a painting I focus on a passion to unite all feelings and multiply the moments, events , states of time. I tend to try to present alternate states of mind. Naturalism and aspects of nature and to elevate a imaginary view of all or consciousness. With a aspect of suspended (or) suspending time and memories in a shock of momentary absence and presence. Using Characteristics of Design, Constructivism, Abstract idea of Industrial design, Minimalism, architecture , and Screenplay. I try to touch on ideas of, fragments of time, poetry, consciousness, see alternate states of mind in the visceral enigma of  “Human”.

Artist Statement:  As a artist I think writing ,and painting drawing portray the true blood and bones of Visaul art. Sketching and wring provide the ability to see ones thoughts through a series of layers and create to the fullest content of ones imagined thought. In my work I enjoy adding that raw look of sketch an aesthetic for lines of atmosphere and writing to execute to viewers to only the idea of thought but the evolution of creation. By breaking down of the visual properties for the viewer to anaylize their thoughts and put meaning to what they are seeing and compare its intricacies to life .
