series "like bees to the honey 2019, 6" Painting

The general objective of this project is to continue experimenting with gestural, expressionist and cathartic painting through an abstract and very personal language, taking the painting to a very experimental, intuitive and improvisational work process, exploring my expressive limits. The title "like bees to honey" has a poetic and autobiographical character rather than scientific or related to zoology. This phrase serves as a seed germinal and inspiring project. The title is inspired by the philosophy of bees as a group, their fragility within the ecosystem and its importance in the global biological balance, the alchemical processes of transformation in relation to the elaboration of honey and its symbology in relation to the human being and the Contemporary world in which we live. The phrase of the title relates to the current period of my life. I identify with the search for transformation of vital energy, whose essence is positive and transforming everything negative into positive, the search for something important, a creative poetic energy , Which flows like a transparent river and does not stop at anything, I identify it with desire, with the sacred, with gold, with my parents. On the other hand, everything has an autobiographical substrate and a very strong emotional load, which is based on my experiences from childhood in relation to the people and the bees. My father is a beekeeper and I have always participated in the care of the bees and the extraction of honey with my family and I have suffered the traumatic experience of almost losing my mother by the sting of one of these wonderful bees. The project is based on the search for pure and essential energy, fluid and transforming through painting. The main inspiration is the energy of nature in spring, the flowering, the rivers definitely the living and changing energy of life.
