Artist Profile:
Jon Planas
"My art directly expresses my life experience. I am a bisexual artist, meaning that in my life I have had intimate relationships with both male and female partners. Even though I am presently single, I am attracted to both sexes. As to the motifs that I paint, the subject matter is very diverse. My paintings vary in style, subject matter and content. I have a wide variety of images, though there is a definite and unique voice that I have developed over the years as to my individual style. Although some of my paintings have a pop style, I do not like to classify myself in this one genre, if anything I attribute more of my inspiration to the great modern masters like Mattisse, Picasso, Paul Klee and Alexander Calder."

My art work is influenced by my dual heritage, Mexican and American. I use the colors and motif that I have seen in my travels in Mexico and incorporate them in my own designs. In a sense, my bisexuality is a fusion of my attraction to men and women.
