“As an artist, I like the eyes of the world to view my art through the communication of the body's soul. By doing this, we are allowing the soul to take its course of learning the experiences of life. This is something the soul knows but hasn’t gone through. I am depicting my art, the self, through what binds us all together: the universe and its higher force."

"I create art through the eye of I AM.”

- Nelson Delgado Jr.
