I consider my artistic expressions a manifestation of my creative
rejoicing.
Navar investigates
themes through painting such as identity, memory, cultural nourishment, dreams and
celebration. Within these archetypes he is
often drawn to aspects of relationships (within ourselves as well as between people and
with the environment- urban, natural and cosmic.) In
the spirit of being ecologically aware, he also tends to use recycled or found objects
such as doors, windows, headboards, found paper and existing paintings as his canvases. For Navar art is an essential source of his inner
energy. It serves as a gateway into a festive
state of peace, reflection and education.
Navar has exhibited widely in California including the
Mission Cultural Center, Vorpal Gallery and the Richmond Art Center. He has also been featured in local and national
newspapers including the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Tribune, and Artweek.
