COLECCION: BOTANIC GARDEN
TECHNIQUE: ACRYLIC AND LACQUER ON PLEXIGLASS AND CANVAS
I created these paintings using a personal development of the old technique of "reverse glass painting". The works are painted on the reverse side of a Plexiglas ("metacrylic") canvas, with the final image viewed from the front. First, the foreground has to be painted and then the background.

The innovation in my approach lies in the use of Plexiglas rather than glass plates, and in the use of acrylic and enamel paint rather than oils.

This approach allows for more opportunity to play with the transparent qualities and graphical detail available while increasing the paint adherence and the archival life of the work.

SAY CHEESE!!
"Say cheese" is an instruction used by photographers who want their subject to smile. By saying "cheese", most people form their mouths into what appears to be a smile-like shape

En el momento antes de hacer una foto se nos insta a sonreír unos segundos, un corto momento de felicidad ficticia para la eternidad.

Ese momento es el que busco en estas obras. 

Parto de fotografías presentes en nuestra memoria colectiva de fotógrafos de primera mitad del siglo XX y las separo de su contexto original mezclándolas con un lenguaje plástico actual.
