Diptych oil on canvas 2 paintings 60x80 cm (23,6 x 31,5 inches) Total dimension 120 cm x 160 cm (47 x 63 inches) This painting was inspired by reading poems by Federico Garcia Lorca (Libro de Poemas). It is an extraordinary Spanish poet who does not need presentation. In particular I was attracted by the poetry La Balada del agua del mar (The Ballad Seawater). I Imagined the poet watching from a room window overlooking the sea, listen to the voice of the waves and create these wonderful verses. I tried to give a feeling of waiting, despite the movement of the waves, a suspension that creates the perfect size for creating a work of art. Transcribing the opening lines of the poem. El mar sonríe a lo lejos. Dientes de espuma, labios de cielo. ¿Qué vendes, oh joven turbia con los senos al aire? Vendo, señor, el agua de los mares. ¿Qué llevas, oh negro joven, mezclado con tu sangre? Llevo, señor, el agua de los mares. Esas lágrimas salobres ¿de dónde vienen, madre? Lloro, señor, el agua de los mares. Corazón, y esta amargura seria, ¿de dónde nace? ¡Amarga mucho el agua de los mares! El mar sonríe a lo lejos. Dientes de espuma, labios de cielo. ****************** English ****************** The sea Smiles from far off Teeth of foam Lips of sky. What are you selling, muddy young woman? With your breasts exposed? Sir, I sell the water Of the seas. What are you carrying, dark youth Mixed with your blood? Sir, I carry the water Of the seas. These saline tears, Whence do they come, Mother? Sir, I weap the water Of the seas. Dear one; and this earnest Bitterness – of what is it born? Very bitter is the water Of the seas. The sea Smiles from far off Teeth of foam Lips of sky.

My artistic journey revolves around the exploration of two distinct yet interconnected themes: the chiaroscuro portraiture of predominantly female subjects and the depiction of mass-produced everyday objects transformed into unique artifacts through human intervention. Through these two bodies of work, I delve into the profound relationship between humanity and its creations, shedding light on the beauty and complexity that arise from our interactions with the world. In my chiaroscuro portraiture, I seek to capture the essence of the human spirit by delicately playing with light and shadow. The interplay of light and dark highlights the depth and complexity of emotions, unveiling the hidden layers of the human psyche. Through the careful rendering of facial features and the intricate dance of shadows, I aim to create intimate portraits that invite viewers to contemplate the universality of human experiences. Within my series of mass-produced objects, I explore the transformative power of human touch and intervention. Everyday items such as crushed cans, crumpled branded bags, or disposable coffee cups become vessels of individual narratives. By juxtaposing these familiar objects against the backdrop of our consumerist culture, I challenge the viewer to reevaluate their relationship with the material world and consider the imprint of human presence. Through both portraiture and object representation, the human figure remains a constant presence in my work. Whether it is the intricate expressions on a face or the traces left by our hands on inanimate objects, the human touch serves as a reminder of our agency and influence in shaping the world around us. I strive to capture the tension between the mass-produced and the individual, exploring the delicate balance between conformity and personal expression. In the realm of portraiture, I aim to evoke a sense of empathy and connection, inviting viewers to recognize themselves in the faces of my subjects. Through the portrayal of predominantly female figures, I explore themes of identity, femininity, and the societal expectations placed upon women. By highlighting the unique qualities and narratives of these individuals, I seek to challenge preconceived notions and foster a deeper understanding of the diverse range of human experiences. In the realm of objects, I invite viewers to contemplate the stories embedded within the mundane.
