ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Ulterior" is a contemporary pictorial series with striking conceptual gesturality. Through a monochromatic palette composed of whites, blacks, and extremely textured raw tones, the artist creates an atmosphere of subtlety and strength. At the heart of the work lies fluorescent spray paint, a irreverent element that bursts onto the art scene like urban graffiti. This daring and current approach infuses vitality and freshness into the series, becoming its central axis. A transparent sheet of fluorescent acrylic surrounds the piece, evoking a technological and artificial society. This element reflects the transparency and artificial perfection of our contemporary and future environment. The presence of gold leaf, a golden element, suggests a new vein, the new gold rush, a discovery that represents the green economy and invites us to reflect on sustainability and environmental preservation, from a new economic and social model. In addition, small irregular pieces of acrylic are integrated, resembling bright nuggets, blurring the boundaries between painting and sculpture. These three-dimensional forms bring movement and dynamism to the series, adding a tactile and sensory dimension. "Ulterior" connects with the artist's previous artistic series such as "Need for Being", "Form" and "Geomorphology", but it goes further, exploring the future of society and aesthetics. With references to Action Painting and Abstract Expressionism, this series represents an evolution in the artist's work and invites us to contemplate art from a new perspective.

From a contemporary perspective through abstract languages, close to Arte Povera and Materic Art, in which I combine tradition and innovation. As a versatile creator, my artistic work explores different methods (sculpture, painting, photography, installation, video). Within an abstract style but full of symbolism, I have given great relevance to the material substratum of the work. The marked conceptual sense, where the material support transcends its state and provokes a profound analysis, should be highlighted. Chromatic austerity is a characteristic element of my work: reducing my palette to a very limited range of colours, based on ochres, blacks and reds, with which to create works of great chromatic contrast and powerful visual impact. I am greatly interested in the use and re-use of materials with a strong industrial stamp, such as Corten steel, aluminium, cement and glass, which stand out due to the experimentation, the special, formal and interim analyses, the perception, the theoretical development and the public sphere, as well as delving into new media and technological innovation. My vital, intellectual and artistic inquisitiveness has led me to explore a large part of the world, where, at the same time, I have developed many of my projects, embracing the essence of each territory, to reinterpret it and decipher it in my works. Projects, trips and life experiences, of marked contrast and complementarity, such as stays of several months in Washington and New York, creation and exhibitions in Mexico City, research projects in Puerto Rico, conferences in Tokyo, in situ works creation for collectors in Qatar, projects in Indonesia, etc. Experiences in Asia, the Middle East, America and Europe are influences that have spread to my work and creative processes. Private collections, institutions, galleries, curators, critics and the media have trusted and looked into my work, which, from my beginnings, has been characterised as being personal, intense, consistent and on the border between tradition and innovation.
