THE ROCK 23 Installation

What light hides is always a mystery, in the same way that the past and the future are a mystery, together with the present, because life never stops having a dreamlike quality about it. The line that separates reality from illusion is so thin, so subtle… we have no choice but to walk the flimsy tightrope of our thoughts. L’Art de la Lumière Cachée (The Art of Hidden Light) features painting, sculpture and installations made with stiffened silk paper. Each piece merges two dimensions in a single artwork: 1_ A NATURAL DIMENSION (opaque), essentially white, minimalist, organic, calling us to meditation. 2_ A HIDDEN DIMENSION (light), as light emanates from the interior, stories, magic and dreams appear, contrasting with the Natural Dimension, giving rise to surprises, contradictions, dilemmas or unexpected answers. This is a technique I’ve developed to talk about Nature, the relationship between people and Nature and the relationship between Human Beings. This is my way of expressing my concern for the future of Humanity. My ultimate goal as an artist is to provoke from the observer what I consider a major necessity: to question ourselves about our increasingly detached and disrespectful relationship with Mother Earth. I seek humanity’s REconnection to the universe. I use this organic, raw material because I’m attracted by the unpredictable outcome that emerges from ‘manipulating delicate, evanescent materials’. In this way, my work represents the force of nature vis-á-vis human activity, searching for the balance between the POWER of Nature and human ENDEAVOUR.
