VIEW IN MY ROOM
2020, oil on canvas, 162x114 cm. Once again, many different sources, projects and influences ending up in a single piece. Here we've got a quotation from Miguel Ángel Asturias, novel "Legends from Guatemala" that have been haunting me for years and years, some dismissed doodles done while working for a commission and that amazing fragment from Bernard of Clairvaux's "Apologia" where, in order to reject Romanesque art, he takes an obvious pleasure in tracing a wholesome picture of it. "But in the cloisters, before the eyes of the brothers while they read—what is that ridiculous monstrosity doing, an amazing kind of deformed beauty and yet a beautiful deformity? What are the filthy apes doing there? (...) In short, everywhere so plentiful and astonishing a variety of contradictory forms is seen that one would rather read in the marble than in books, and spend the whole day wondering at every single one of them than in meditating on the law of God".
