The work is a reinterpretation of the angel of history by W. Benjamin, who said of this being that he sees the ruin of history accumulating and wants to rebuild but the wind of the future throws him into the future and he only sees behind him as the rot accumulates I made use of Michelangelo's David, which in my opinion is THE male figure, and on the other hand, for the angel's wings I made use of a synthetic geometry that suggested them without falling into the trite and seeing the divine nature of the character from another perspective. , all from a mythical-poetic angle that covers a large part of my work in general, since I try to collect a sensitive document that expresses and criticizes my historical moment and the past seen through the mental instruments of my time facing the future.

I am Elías Pinto Casanova from Mexico. My first intention was to be an illustrator, but I turned towards the plastic arts when I realized the discursive possibilities and the freedom they offer to transmit an idea with all the subjective nuance oriented towards expressive purposes. I am convinced that art is poetry applied to different disciplines, both of time and space, since its purpose is to make ideas attractive to the senses and at the same time they collect the feeling of a historical moment, therefore they are a chronicle of the subjectivity of an era, integral social heritage of humanity as it consciously or unconsciously collects the contributions of philosophy and science, forming a kind of trinitarian pillar of the material-intellectual progress of the species. For this reason, I seek to capture from a mythical-poetic perspective the phenomena and events of my time, to translate visually supported by figuration and geometric abstraction to enhance suggestion, and that is why through this combinatorial capacity I address the possibilities of an idea in pictorial series. With the hybridization of tradition and avant-garde that reinterprets the past and interprets its present as a letter, as a chronicle or inspiration for the future.
