| La Guaira Venezuela: MOTOROLA Cell phone promotion 2 meters by 1 meter oil on canvas 1993 Corporate Collection of Motorola-Nortel |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| In 1993, the MOTOROLA - NORTEL Corporation commissioned me to paint several mural-size canvases and a number of smaller oil compositions for their newly opened offices in Caracas, Venezuela. At that time, the company was launching a full-scale marketing promotion of their cellular phone technology, and they asked me to depict this in several murals. Some of the figures standing or sitting by the fruit stands in the lower section of the above painting are using cell phones, as is the man in the small power boat crossing the large area of water just above the fruit stands in that same lower left-hand corner. Also, if you squint your eyes, you may see another interesting detail in this mural : an equestrian statue of South American Liberator Simon Bolivar in the little town wharf by the white building under the red "Motorola" billboard. |

| Message in a Bottle: MOTOROLA Cell phone promotion 1 meter by 1 meter oil on canvas 1995 Corporate Collection of Motorola-Nortel |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| In this mural designed for the MOTOROLA - NORTEL Corporation, I painted a cell phone inside a bottle floating onto the beach of a primitive island. The fisherman on the shore is making a fishing net in the hexagonal shape of digital technology, my way of suggesting the connection between fishing and capturing voice signals. |
