Citywalker


Citywalker tells the story of a man’s journey rediscovering his identity, his sexuality and ethnicity. The quest for love and acceptance is multilayered in New York where everything is possible. Touched by the encounter with others, surrounded by high risers, bridges and intertwined highways, subway trains, the sound of sirens, club music, and the waves of the Hudson River…from the East to the West Village, gaining momentum as in a Circuit Party, he revisits universal archetypes in the bohemian life-style of a myriad of characters and dramatic situations, coexisting with flash backs to his family’s “island”, and the nostalgia for the unconditional love he tries to find in New York, at the expense of his own sanity. When existence in the fast lane is poisoned by deception and overwhelming feelings of abandonment, Citywalker realizes his journey towards identity has become a mantra revealing his wisdom through the mundane.

I am very thankful to Nelson Santos at Visual AIDS for his outstanding support of artists, while using art as a vehicle to dissemina…

The Only Purpose Worth Fulfilling

I come across many people who want to change the world yet they haven’t figured out how to change themselves for the better; writers who think that you write for a formulaic reader when in reality if you cannot write from the core about what makes you come alive daily your writing will always be voiceless and cosmetic. In a moment when I find it exhausting to look at the outside world for inspiration, I’m looking inward and writing up a storm as I listen to Oprah.
