Natural History Forever Painting

Oil and pencil on black and white photographic grisaille on canvas. Peace Unique. Recreated views of the city. An ideal city wrapped in nature. Nature recovers the space that always belonged to it. The painting is ready to be hung without a frame due to the additional 4 cm-wide stretchers bars that has been meticulously crafted, lending it a robust and substantial appearance. The narrative, the story to be told is the most important thing in art: The difficult balance between nature and human beings. Nature struggles to survive and recover the space that man has been taking from it. These images become a metaphor for the times we live in. Another idea is the transformation of the city, the recomposition of the urban space and the arrangement of the buildings to turn them into the Ideal City. This transformative idea is idealized with the important presence of nature that replaces asphalt. Isn't that a great idea? About the technique: In his artistic process, Arriaga incorporates the Grisalla and Glazes technique, a traditional technique method used by the ancient masters. They usually begin by painting the complete image all in black and white, creating a base known as grisaille, and then applying transparent glazes layer by layer, producing a vibrant interplay of colors, gradients and volume. This technique adds depth and visual interest to his paintings. So Carlos employs photography as a grisaille, fashioning a photograph with minimal contrast and prominent highlights. This technique enables him to attain a notable sense of volume when translating it into painting, in conjunction with a unique texture. It ultimately yields a captivating vibrancy, depth of color, and a characteristic texture.
