Matherhood Icon Painting

The limit of iconographic representation is overcome with the absence of representation in the part where the canvas is white and not painted. The joy of the nativity, the human and the divine, royalty and simplicity, everything is present on this canvas. The cut is an invitation to transcendence. “On the threshold of the image. When a color is projected beyond the canvas, distancing itself from its surface, with this force, like a real eruption, the viewer can rightly ask himself: "what am I observing?" . A sculpture? , A painting? What? I believe this may be a fair question, but not a fundamental one. Just stop for a moment, think that every millimeter of distance that the color takes from the surface of the canvas, in its protrusion into space, it gradually becomes closer to the artist, first, and later to the spectator himself. it is here that we find the engine of vision, the fulcrum of perception, the convergence of artistic representation ... And the image that we could have believed destroyed, deconstructed, enhanced ... is now performed in this small space, in this small stage that separates the canvas from the viewer, captured in a perennial tension towards him”. Oil and mixed media on canvas. Please note: the canvas has cuts and removals.
