Ordeal to Reach the Rest Rooms (Museum Edition - Limited to 7) Photograph

All components of the artwork were taken or created by the author Museum edition (limited to 7) - Total size: 111.8 x 167.7 cm - 44 x 66" - Image size: 100 x 150 cm - 39.4 x 59.1" - White margin size: 5.8 x 8.85 cm - 2.3 x 3.5" Artwork description: The species of the animal shown in the artwork is the quokka. It is an endemic animal that lives on the beautiful “Rottnest Island” (Australia), which received that name because when it was discovered by Dutch sailors it was thought to be infested by rodents of great size. In reality the quokka is more related to a kangaroo than to a rat, they are marsupials, not rodents, and they are very friendly creatures. This piece represents a situation that would quite certainly give the woman who has just entered the scene a good fright. Notice the Fibonacci arrangement of the elements, starting from the woman leg, the quokka and then the leaves in the steps, followed by the leaves on the floor, the quokka inside the bronze container and the light shapes on the right wall. In fact, I could not contain myself and I have included the beginning of the Fibonacci spiral, replacing the picture on the top of the steps, to help the viewer to find it. Significance of the artwork: This artwork teaches us how most of our fears live just in our minds. When the danger behind something is understood, it can become enjoyable. Also, be prepared: danger may appear just around the corner… About the media: About the brand of the paper, I use Canson because they provide outstanding quality paper. They have been in the market producing paper for artists for over 400 years. About the particular model of paper, I have selected Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag 100% cotton (Palace Edition) and Baryta Photographique 100% alpha cellulose (rest of editions), two Fine Art satin papers. These models of papers provide a photorealistic look, which turns imagination into a real situation, confusing the viewer. On the other hand, I have also printed this artwork using Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag (matte Fine Art paper, 100% cotton) and the result, less realistic and more pictorial, is also very pleasing. If you prefer your artwork printed in Edition Etching Rag just send me a quick email to let me know or contact Saatchi.

This artwork belongs to Visions of Another Continent, whose description is: When someone leaves his home country for a long period, his natal roots weaken and new ones start to grow. After returning to his place of origin, he will observe it in a different way, as his references will have changed. Ideally, he will want to keep what he most likes of both parts. This artistic series shows the spontaneous visions of a past period in my life, my stay in Australia for 5 years, mixed with scenes of my current daily life. In most cases these visions include two elements: the Australian natural heritage, the most astonishing part of the country for me, with the (European) cultural heritage, less common in that part of the Hemisphere. The first of the elements, nature, reminds us where we are coming from. The second one, culture, how far we can go. With this series I have wanted to experience how both worlds could interact if they were merged. That is an impossible desire to satisfy, but at least I can now visually enjoy it.
