Édgar Güiza

My artistic practice explores the architecture of human consciousness, approaching the mind as a fragile and dualistic construct. Drawing on personal phenomenology, my work reflects on self-awareness and the contemporary search for a spiritual anchor in an increasingly fragmented reality.
From a formal perspective, my work moves between drawing and painting, seeking a fluid blend of the figurative and the abstract. My creative process begins with photographic documentation and digital manipulation, which I then translate into mixed-media surfaces.
A central element of my methodology is the dialogue between additive and subtractive processes. I accumulate material to create form and, at the same time, remove material to reveal. To this end, I combine traditional representation using pencil, charcoal, and paint with the technique of subtraction and the exploration of mixed media.
The physical process itself reflects my conceptual focus on the duality and fragility of being. My recurring motifs—such as the human body and self-referential elements of the creative act—serve as reference points for exploring the tension between presence and absence.
