This is a work that I did after a trip to Peru that I made in 2020, as is well known, it was the year in which the pandemic broke out, which has affected us and made us lose so many people. "Amorfos walking in the grassland" was inspired by a moment in my life that had a lot of meaning, I had traveled to a town in Peru to work 6 months in the fields and beyond, life is very hard, I still remember the sunrises where he saw families walking out of town to go to the hospital in the city, for which they had to walk eight hours through the mountains to get there. In my painting I wanted to express it this way, because I saw them from afar and only noticed shapes walking through the grass at five in the morning. It was an unpleasant situation because deep down I knew that these families were looking for help due to the chaos that the pandemic caused in every part of the world, so this was my way of transferring a bad memory onto the canvas.

BIOGRAPHY My name is David Vallejos, I was born in the city of Buenos Aires Argentina in 1991. I left home when I was 16 years old, since then I have dedicated myself to working in all kinds of jobs, leaving aside everything that fascinated me. . I have lived the last 2 years of my stay in the city on the street, where I have seen everything, until after 24 years I decided to leave the city to go alone with a backpack in hand to start a new life in northern Argentina. At the age of 27 I discovered my love for art and although I did not plan to dedicate myself to it, I began to take distance painting classes with Hangel Montero and Fermin Garcia Sevilla (2 excellent Spanish painters), although I already mastered drawing, I learned how to use color, composition, diversity of materials, etc. At the age of 28, I began to study at the Jujuy Province Arts Faculty with the intention of interacting with people from the artistic sphere and it was there that I began to learn about all kinds of styles, techniques, themes, painters, etc. I started working in my own style and creating my own works, which has opened the doors for me to participate in exhibitions and to sell my work. Today, at the age of 31, I dedicate myself totally to painting. MY PAINTINGS I work all my paintings with oil since its versatility allows me to achieve the effects with which my works are identified. I mostly use a range of muted colors, earths and ochres, I avoid the use of saturated colors unless I urgently need to highlight a specific point. My works are closer to a dark surreal style and the themes I use are a combination of everyday situations that inspire me in a particular way with my past experiences and my way of seeing the world. I use the use of humanoid figures with deformities or disfigured faces, apocalyptic landscapes, creatures and sequences out of the ordinary, since what I seek is to keep the viewer uncomfortable but attentive to the bodies trying to decipher the background of what they are observing, because the The viewer will recognize the forms but the distortion with respect to reality with which I make them makes the viewer enjoy analyzing every detail and the general idea of the work but at the same time in a certain way identifying with what he sees because despite the distortion it can be seen that it is an almost human figure.
