Patrick Gonzales
Sometimes a photograph inhabits the mastery of more than one medium of art. Such is the case with the classic black and white image captures of photographer Patrick Gonzales. The multifaceted artist's work incorporates an aesthetic similar to that of a fine art painting.
Gonzales' passion for the arts blossomed at the ripe age of fifteen, when he adopted the art of painting. It is evident that he draws from his early painting techniques to create his captivatingly dreamy worlds. With the addition of photo editing technology, which Gonzales was first introduced to in 1998, he is able to transform his photographic paintings into the spellbinding visuals of his imagination.
Many of the artist's images depict lone figures standing at a distance amidst vast, surreal environments. The themes behind much of his work revolve around "childhood, art, and fantasy." These recurring motifs are heightened through the ever-present "field of dreams" that stretch the landscape to a level of infinite exploration.
Selected prints of Gonzales' work can be purchased through his portfolio on Saatchi.

Drug caravan to visit more than 20 US cities
A coalition calling for an end to the war on drugs began its monthlong campaign Sunday in San Diego that will take it to more than 20 U.S. cities.
More than 200 people gathered at a park on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a movement known as the ‘‘Caravan for Peace with Justice and Dignity’’ that includes nearly 100 organizations.
The effort is led by Mexican peace activist Javier Sicilia, whose son was killed by drug gang members last year. Sicilia and others want to draw attention to what they say are misguided anti-drug policies in both the U.S. and Mexico. They estimate that tens of thousands of lives in Mexico have been lost because of the war on drugs...
