I found it intriguing to incorporate a vibrant yet artificial green—resembling plastic—into the center of the artwork. It represents a cultivated area, but one covered in "kiwi mesh." My interest in the deliberate and artificial geometrization of the landscape persists. In this piece, my challenge was to capture the cold, wintry light that signals an impending frost in the central region of Chile. Some time ago, I discovered that the sky doesn't necessarily need to be painted blue because the eye will interpret it as blue regardless. Therefore, I stopped painting it blue. The same principle applies to the ground; our brains will always perceive it as such because it is below us, so it can be any color. Given that the earth consists of various shades of red, I tend to use red tones to convey brown and gray. I find these color matches and mismatches amusing. I aim for plausibility in my work, but I don't seek certainty.
