“When I first arrived in New York City in the early nineties I noticed all the iron gates on windows, doors and entryways. There was something very dark but ornate about them. They swirled and undulated, they were hard but soft, they offered resistance but at the same time allowed entry. All these things spoke to me about the Baroque. I felt they had to be painted.” — Jaime Arredondo
