Commedia 2 (2002) Photography by Andres Aquino

Andrés Aquino… born of fire and balmy breezes on the island of Oscar de la Renta and Sammy Sosa, one side Haitians battling sugar cane, on the other whales breaching to see Puerto Rico... Perspectives... poet, writer, actor, director, manager, dreamer, artist... the train marches on, get aboard... running from the man to find the man... masks of myself... shooting beautiful runway models on the catwalks of the fashion capitals of the world... Educated by Boston College Jesuits in Beantown, trained by professors of the street in New York’s inner city... Renaissance... stranded on virgin Caribbean beaches with exotic models scaling coconut trees and splashing in the azure sea... Women At Work... drama... marrying poetry with metaphoric photographic images... the ever-changing metropolitan scene... Urban...chiseled in the female figure... Conceptual... the carnival of life... hand crafting artistic images in the wee hours of the morning... Immersion... debating censorship with an art gallery director on the New England newspaper pages... Theatrical... collecting tear sheets from art magazines — interviews and editorials... reciting poetry at a Carmel exhibit... Cosmic... seen in Montreal... on the walls of Art Expo in New York... in private homes, galleries... retreating from the metropolitan world to the Vermont mountains... Color Play… conjugating the female figure with nature... Four Seasons... re-appearing on the fashion scene, fashion week madness... is all ephemeral... trooping from Calvin Klein to DKNY in between Versus and Yves St. Laurent... slave to a time and space free to an eternity... Evil... searching, always searching for the muse... the noble beauty of the human body as shrine to the divine... Blanc et Noir... images, images... the Secretary General of the U.N. Boutros Boutros-Ghali (not a mistake)... an old lady on the steps of a cathedral... romance novel covers... Romance... syndicated to the world... duality, dichotomy of life... Carnevale... gravity pulls, must propel upwards, the spirit soars, got to dance!
