Eliseo Pau

“In my work I use images or videos that interest me as a starting point.
Sometimes using images I take with my phone, from the internet or tv, occasionally gathering these materials from social media.
I like to have fun and change things around, the colours, adding elements or taking them out, sometimes evolving into something completely abstract and complex from the starting point, sometimes I keep things simple.
I am concerned with the landscape, military pollution, personal history and nostalgia.
By using a variety of media I cultivate a non-uniform practice, moving freely from one medium to another, occasionally floating between genres, styles or techniques, through a multidisciplinary practice, exploring with painting, video, photography, drawings, music and animation.
In my work I try to slow down the process of looking, searching, documenting, expanding, questioning, translating and reforming memories and events.”
