Bodies Print

There are dreams that are not pleasant. They occur when our brain wakes up a little before our body. It's an incomplete awakening, a transition between sleep and wakefulness. This phenomenon is called sleep paralysis. A person under this state is cognitively awake, but cannot move, talk or even breathe normally. The person is conscious, but remains still. There was a time when I had sleep paralysis. Because of this I could not sleep, so I was prescribed a drug named Benzodiazepine. In a few days the medication worked and not only I was able to sleep, but I started a period of lucid dreaming. In those dreams I wandered around a new universe made up of strange, moving landscapes. Every color had its own journey that, far from being apart, was related to the rest shaping one Unity. Nothing remained in the same place for long. Chaos reigned, but it was not a disorder or disorganization: it was a new order. So I decided to portrait this universe composed by landscapes, colors, movements and chaotic relationships in a series of drawings and paintings. I merged different techniques such as collage, monocopy and primer in addition to the use of different materials which, combined with each other, establishing relationships between all the elements.
