Bautista’s paintings are approachable as he often depicts a sensuality and innocence with the human figure. However, juxtaposed with an aggressive and almost violent manner of applying paint, he addresses, with a pensive tone, issues of love, regret and the hope of moving forward.
His work is honest yet ambiguous. Vulnerable and unapologetic. Volatile yet remaining tender - Paintings that can express our innermost secrets, but able to connect us all to the simple and complicated realization of life.’
