"TOTEM" Drawing

Faljano is a contemporary visual artist with a long career, who has devoted himself to the new BLAGUI drawing style. After a childhood marked by a dysfunctional family environment. The set of confusing stimuli stirred a desire to reorganize a world that seemed incomplete or broken. A world that seemed to follow an inverted logic. That is, where everything seemed to be upside down, especially in power relations. How can imagination and creative work broaden and merge the horizons between fiction and reality?

He took a trip to northern Chile, venturing into the Atacama Desert. The experiences that took place there have become mythical. Few of them have been reliably documented. During these events, he meets his mentor, Lazaro Ligarad, whose perspective will be a turning point.
This revelation means that his relationship with the world will never be the same again. This is where hermeneutic methods are revealed, in the field of semiotics and profound symbolism.

Faljano achieves the autonomy of drawing to merge it with philosophy. From these lessons, he understands that drawing is the medium for human thought. In his words: ‘to draw is to think’.

The discipline of drawing abandons its subordinate position and emancipates itself from painting forever. He creates the foundations and principles of the new BLAGUI drawing. Today, the complexity and difficulty of this genre are considered high art, and its exclusive pieces are luxury items.

Faljano founded the LINERRUM workshops, which became the centres of BLAGUI culture. In these spaces, the creative processes respect a particular mode of dialogue and research, in order to understand each work as an event of reinvention.

He has taken a break from his creative activity in 2021, after several disputes with Waltes Niversu, which have weakened him. Some of these confrontations have given rise to heated verbal controversies. And it is known that, in some cases, the friction has led to physical altercations. Beyond these controversies, Faljano has resumed his activity with new energy and enthusiasm
