“For me truth can only be expressed when everything else has been stripped away. And what is art if not finding truth,” said Harolto Boechat Victorino in his artist statement.
“Art on Paper” oil and mixed media is on exhibit in the Belcher Auditorium of the Ridgewood Public Library through Feb. 29.
“Some of these paintings were painted after September 11. There were many different moods I went through,” said Victorino. He also feels the artwork – acrylic on paper – shows different feelings we went through as a country.
