Artist's Description
A gypsy woman seems to be gazing into her dark crystal ball. Upon closer inspection she is actually molding a pot. The table is actually a potter's wheel and she is spinning it with her foot. She has the power to mold your future. It is in her hands and not by some powerful insight to the future. She can give you a bad fortune (deformed clay pots) or a good one (perfectly shaped ones).
Woman sleeping behind the gypsy lady - a dream within a dream visual interpretation. One of the face is blank = confusion. Needs to see a fortune teller or a physic. She is the prey or the victim.
Man holding clay tries to find a good fortune but actually holds his own fortune in his hand.
Woman juggling - she looks to the heavens (one of the ball is the moon) to discern your future. She can place a dark ball(bad fortune) or a white ball (good fortune) in the head of the man seeking his fortune. It is her choice.
Man with crown with star less sky. He is the king of the star...
About Paul Hilario
I paint visual narratives. I try to create stories with themes that range from the blissful to the brooding. Typically, my compositions are laden with common and personal symbolism. My works seem to have disconnected elements but they are in fact linked in the way that I see them. To the audience, however, they are like puzzles; open to varied personal interpretations. I don’t like to confine myself in a box. Some days I paint social commentaries. Other days I just paint my personal observations of issues that pertain to almost anything under the sun - this can be political, social, environmental, religious, cultural, and even agricultural. I try to paint realities in, out, and of life. Early in my career as a painter, I was mostly...

Nice piece, Paul, and again you win my applause. As always, your handling of crisp, dry color with a tinge of magic realist eeriness is superb. I am reminded of some kind of back-tent carnival here, but am not disappointed in the fact that I can't seem to unravel all the mysteries that are presented. The display of dry direct color, tight composition, and clean organization of parts, combined with psychological uncertainty, flirts with carnival unrest rather than fun and games. To have finished up with a "laugh-and-games" conclusion without the presence of underlying trauma would have cheapened the outcome. Good that you avoided such a pitfall and allowed the devil to permeate through atmosphere. Great job!
Paul Hilario replied:
Hi Ken. Again, thank you for your insightful and appreciative comment on my work. I consider it an honor for somebody to scrutinize what I do - especially the not so popular themes that I explore. The message is clear in my mind but many have described my works not so easy to fathom. But that is alright. Each one may and can make their personal interpretations anyway. I explained my personal interpretation in the description area on the right. That I do for people who are curious to know my thoughts. With regards to technique and viewed up close, the paintings I make has a sheen to the shadows in contrast to the rather matte dry overpaint colors. It is a nice effect, I think. My underpaintings were constructed by glazing and you can see all of these in the shadows that have multitudinous colors - mostly blue & red, some violet, green, orange, and minimal yellows. Lastly, I use a stiff brush sideways most of the time so I catch the 'hills' of the canvas surface so that the colors underneath can still peak thru. Again. thank you for your comment
