george mendoza: colors of the wind

george mendoza: colors of the wind

Many years ago I was getting tired of the eye problems. The dancing colors would not leave me alone. I spoke to a priest. "paint them", he said, "Make designs, pictures from them." - George Mendoza

A little girl who was blind and had never seen colors asked me, "can you tell me, what color is the wind?" That question blew my mind because I was just losing my sight then. She woke up my creative sense by asking that question. - George Mendoza

I'm not interested in pursuing that visionary landscape that I see. It's with me the minute I wake up, with me all day long if I want to focus on it and pick out a painting out there in the trees or sky that I see. I close my eyes, I can see a painting. - George Mendoza

I feel like my eyes are far away, they're not based in reality. Sometimes people say, This place is ugly. I don't see it! To me the world is beautiful. What makes it ugly is when you focus on ugliness; when you accept the focus offered by the rest of society. - George Mendoza

The sun is a very real companion to me. When I am out under the sky, the sun helps me understand where I am, where I am going, and amazingly it helps me see. Sometimes I wish I could say thanks! - George Mendoza

A lot of my paintings are based on dreams that I have had. So I might have limited eyesight, but the visions or mental pictures that I see seem to be limitless. I've pursued not the perfect sunset, not the perfect yucca or autumn tree in New England. I pursue what I see. - George Mendoza
