Gabriel's unique paintings are literally layer upon layer of primitive graffiti, child like drawings, free association, collage and mixed medias. The paperwork he uses for his collage technique is usually salvaged from assorted locations (abandoned hospitals, dilapidated factories condemned houses, dumpsters,flea markets etc.) Old handwritten journal pages, vintage childrens art, ledgers, financial records, pages from out of print books are all reincarnated to create a living circuit board of color, texture and information, used to communicate eerie narratives and mythological characters inspired from his imagination,visions, experiences or dreams.
