What inspires your paintings?

Life. I’m inspired by life, I’m often motivated by my inner drive of emotions and my natural surroundings. All of my paintings must convey an uplifting story, else it’s incomplete.

Some of Sabas' Paintings

I began to paint around age five. At first, by using the back of old calendars, then on coconuts, conch shells, bamboo, sea drifted wood, and other organic material found around the beaches of my hometown in Puerto Cortes.

Sculptures

Most of my sculptures are of recyclable material.

What inspired you the most?

Around 30 years ago, I noted the overflow and began collecting material from the town’s dump, to prevent such from continuously entering the landfill. Later, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and other people began calling me up and offering me their stuff. Such as old pianos, headboards, chairs, etc. My inspiration comes from the need to create beauty and usage out of discarded used up goods that most might consider being garbage. My guess that it is kind of like being a global therapist. Since during such a time, my actual job was to rehabilitate the alcoholic, drug addicts, and the criminally insane back into society and make them again useful. I believe it might come from a spiritual optimism within.
