Alma Painting

Statement In my work there is a prevailing obsession regarding the materiality of the body and the twofold relationship between identity and memory. Memory intended as a collective and individual chronicle, and time as the residual evidence of a lost future, perhaps trapped in its own circular nature. My pictorial work, in the construction of images, has a certain familiarity with the theories of Bergson on the process of retrieving memories. Images that are not pure and never completely reliable, which perception pronounces in an enriched series of representations and consequent actions viscerally based on experience, but also of revealing signs that hint at the possibility of further evolvement. The painted surface is permeated by a dimension suspended between reality and imagination, that is precarious and naturally nomadic. In the search for a possible root, I focus, at least initially, on an accumulation of saturated images of human transition, belonging to the iconography that time, in its circularity, has helped to codify. It is at this point that the obsession takes shape which the painting translates in the rhythm of the epidermal layers in which I intervene amassing attempts, recoveries, failures and new ideas. My interest then opens up to an unfathomable dimension, in which doubt is the only possible revelation. And the appearance of these traces on the canvas is not the confirmation of having discovered something, but it is the testimony of a deletion and the appearance of a number of hypotheses.
