Blue, gray and copper n.1 Print

My work has evolved over the years, however the focus of my research has not changed. I seek to reveal painting in its "pictoriality", that is, to confront the materials in themselves, generating interactions between them. In this way, the support becomes a sort of "battlefield", where the processes of artistic creation take place. Although there are elements that I can control by giving certain guidelines to the materials, they are ruled by their own systems, behaving in unexpected ways and giving origin to new images. The creation around the abstract image gives a certain independence to painting, being free to behave as it pleases, without obeying representational purposes. This allows us to focus our attention on the creation processes and on the interaction between the elements that, being of irreconcilable origins (water and oil, acrylic and oil), reject each other, establishing a difference on the surface, where the only possible mixture it's by layering. Pigments, a fundamental component of my work, help to register these behaviors of the elements. The materiality and texture of the pigment allow it to leave a sort of trace of what happened on the support. The interaction of the elements allows the development of multiple possibilities that are expressed through color, texture, brightness, opacity, directions, depth, etc.
