Now I’ve been crazy couldn’t you tell? I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell.

I can’t really place what hits me so hard about this picture.

Those Oakland nights on the roof, climbing up the stone wall, we eventually had to buy packs of bandages and Neosporin to keep in the kitchen for all of the cuts and scrapes we accumulated trying to scale those jagged edges, Nick would put the band-aid on, I would kiss the scar, our own 3am, makeshift ER. 

This place was nothing extraordinary, the top of a dilapidated garage on a broken, forgotten side street that we spent three years making our own, it was a place your glance slid past as you walked by without even registering it but it was so precious to us.

It’s breaking my heart not being there with my very best friends as they say goodbye, to kiss the walls with them and close the door for the last time. 

I don’t know when I will see them again, if I will see them again, but it will never be like this again.

Did you know you could love something this way? That you can look at a dark picture and remember the stones under your thighs, the feeling of the boys beside you, the way you laughed and yelled and said nothing at all, and know that you can’t have it again, and hate it for that and love it all the more.

I don’t know how to stay tender with this much blood in my mouth

Paintings by Federico Infante

Federico Infante born in Santiago, Chile in 1982 works predominantly in the medium of painting. Federico received his BFA from Finis Terrae University (Santiago, Chile) in 2002 and graduated in 2013 with his MFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York. He is currently living and working in New York.

Each of my paintings is deeply unique and emerges through its own process. I start with an expressive act of covering the canvas with several layers of acrylic paint and then scratching it off. I repeat this process many times. I do not plan my images in advance and try to stay present and as detached as possible from the result. In doing this I am able to express my unconscious mind, the part of me that has not been processed by logic. I then react to this abstract and expressive atmosphere, by searching for the elements that have emerged, possibly in pockets of light, or the foundations of a landscape. In this way each painting shows me its singular identity…
