Damian Quinones

Quinones’ songwriting is part 60's pop, in the vein of Gainsbourg, Bacharach, Lennon/ McCartney, Davies, and Hayes/Porter; part 70's Nuyorican funk (in the mold of Willie Bobo, War, and Harlem River Drive; and has elements of electronic music, jazz, Tropicalia, and Reggae.

My recent paintings are concerned with psychic space, using hybrid abstract imagery as schematics for philosophical ideology. For example: I combine dualities such as internal and external, past and future, to symbolically model unseen worlds. The symbolism, though abstract, is specific. The cosmic juxtaposed with the cellular expresses a connection. They are composed of the same material, exhibiting a unity that seems to initiate connection.
