"Your experiences have everything to do with your beliefs and how you see the world. As in art and life, if what you create is real, and if it's done with genuine emotions, there will always be others who will want to experience and relate to that power. In creating art, I have found something that I really love to do, and I hope people can see that through the work I have done, because when I finish a sculpture, it, too, becomes a part of me." - Chris Navarro
