Buenos Aires Painting

The Cities. Color shapes material images. On the support stands a unity that leads to synthesis, to recognize. The gesture follows emotional traces not far from the awareness of becoming an image. When we listen about a city for the first time, when we see a photograph or when we learn something about it, a very special process begins: a city begins to be founded in our imagination, in our sensitivity, in our mind. And this city is not static but grows, changes, just like the city with a geographical location with which it coexists, becoming a part of it. We may never have been to that geographic place, but we can always visit this place within us that is part of that. This is a place of knowledge that becomes image, that becomes emotion … Remembering a place, hearing a story about it, walking along a street in a city, everything lives and relives, crossing a neurobiological substrate that is continuously modeled and changed based on everything that happens at the level of stimuli. Our being in reality makes this substrate live and it gives us emotions, sensations, responses. This series of works are an artistic representation of frames of this substrate subjected to the stimulus of the name of a particular city, be it written, read, heard, lived. Have a nice trip!
