B. New York City
Res: Kissimmee, Florida
My mother was the one who actually introduced me to art.
When I was three years old she gave me a pencil and paper so I could entertain myself while sitting in my high chair. We had radio and she would tune it to the local classical music station. I skribbled while Mozart,Bach,Handel and other's music soothed my young mind.
My older sister says that I created a very finished still life of a bowl, oatmeal box cyclinder and spoon that was on the kitchen table in front of me. She says I was four at the time.
I began painting using oil at 14. Later within the same year, I won an honorable mention at the International Art Show's, Da Vinci Open Art Competition. That sealed my destiny. I have been painting for over forty seven years of my life.

Hyper Visualism A New Perspective A New Genre
Artist’s Statement
My art is an exploration of my Hispanic cultural heritage, traditions and History.
I share my art freely to foster a cultural exchange and to initiate a positive educative
process that in the end creates a cultural foundation for Hispanic children who
would come after me.
My inability to perceive primary colors has given birth to a strange new artistic
science and has given form to my new genre, Hyper Visualism; an art that depicts
subjects of our world in an easy way. My intent isn’t to create images that are photo
realistic. My aim is to create images that are instead photo intense.

Artist’s Biography
Ayes was born in New York City. He began drawing when he was three years of
age. He began painting within the medium of oils when he was 14. At the tender age
of 14 Ayes won an honorable mention at the New York International Art Show’s, Da
Vinci Art Competition. Soon his teachers would encourage him to attend the High
School of Visual Arts. There he learned the basics of art and design relative to
advertising art, but his heart was always in fine arts.
He then went to the School of Visual Arts to formally study painting. There he
discovered that they couldn’t teach him because of his color perception deficiency.
Ayes first oil paintings were executed using monochromatic techniques, using one
Color to depict subjects within a full range of values from the color’s lightest to its
darkest tones. Many years were spent in perfecting and analyzing his medium and
how he could push it to its limits. He studied optics and the effects of reflected and
refracted light. Then he began adding more colors to his palette orchestrating a
multitude of variations of monochromatic colors upon his canvases.
