Inside Painting

"Nostalgia" Series It had been 4 years since I last went to Buenos Aires to see my family (family, friends, loved ones). I spent a month eagerly waiting to go, and I fully enjoyed the 20 days I was there. When I returned, I painted this series. It was two months of yearning for those encounters that flew by, and who knows when they will happen again. As usual, I first paint, express on the canvas, and then realize what those images mean to me. I realize that the palette I chose represents the colors that come to mind when I think of the Río de la Plata. They are the colors of “mate”, earth, and the “hornero” bird. "Inside" It's going into darkness, getting lost in oneself, hiding one's head for protection. The river is turbid, you can't see your feet like in a swimming pool, hence the opacity and the hardness of the reflections. ------ "Dentro" Es ir a hacia la oscuridad, ensimismarse, esconder la cabeza para protegerse. El río es turbio, no te ves los pies como en una piscina, de ahí la opacidad y lo duro de los reflejos.
