blue Painting

What inspire me to explore are the colors and their interaction. Colors attract the eyes and emit energy. My goal is to understand and conquer them. Having done exercises and experiments on the issues raised by J. Itten and J. Albert, I decided to explore one color at a time, its hues, values and relation with the other colors. The field of painting is divided by a grid that thickens in places. Nearby hues compose the painting in which prevails a color. Before I begin, I have planned the process. The hue of the prevalent color as extends to the edges of the painting, shifts gradually to other colors. Many decisions are made during execution, there is improvisation. I work all the parts at once and often change the hues or tones I chose at first. I don't know where I will end up. The road opens as I walk. I use acrylic paints, I like that can create endless hues and values and it doesn't take long to dry, giving me the opportunity to change the hues when I wish. Hues and values make the illusion of volume and space. Also, gray shades make the center color brighter, according to the quality contrast of Itten. Finally as handmade object, the strict straight lines of the grid break their absoluteness, becoming a little bit curves. It’s result a more vibrant and warm feeling. I am not interested in creating a strictly rational and normal field, but a poetic one, which allows feelings in human being for her/himself, those around her/him and her/his environment. Something I see and admire in the work of P.Klee and M.Rothko.
