My work is a reflection of my basic view of the positive nature of humanity. Through the use of the figure, I attempt to show the beauty of the human spirit, both mind and body.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EIn my work, even though I\u0027m presenting a moment in time in which the figures are mostly motionless, they all show the capacity to move and to live according to positive values.\u0022\u003Cbr /\u003E- Jerry Luisi\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr
