ABOUT THE ARTWORK

El personaje ataviado con los símbolos del capitalismo postindustrial contempla el vertedero de la historia, el panteón ideológico de los grandes símbolos caducos. En su vanidad se piensa como la cima del progreso material, intelectual, tecnológico, científico, cultural y social pero no sospecha que el cementerio de la historia lo atrae con extraña fascinación porque su turno ha llegado. La obra es pues una reflexión del ocaso del modelo geopolítico unipolar, y el desafío que representa a su dogma político, económico y cultural que ya muestra las fisuras de su desgaste y caducidad. Ésta obra nace de la idea sobre el devenir histórico, y la curiosa formación del "turismo ontológico" una consecuencia de la posmodernidad, donde el desarraigo, la simultaneidad, la desmaterialización del desarrollo material a migrado a la subjetividad, pues si el ser hace a la conciencia, es pues el turista quien representa a la sociedad actual, que flotante y lívida se desplaza hedonista hacia el placer sin compromisos

I am Elías Pinto Casanova from Mexico. My first intention was to be an illustrator, but I turned towards the plastic arts when I realized the discursive possibilities and the freedom they offer to transmit an idea with all the subjective nuance oriented towards expressive purposes. I am convinced that art is poetry applied to different disciplines, both of time and space, since its purpose is to make ideas attractive to the senses and at the same time they collect the feeling of a historical moment, therefore they are a chronicle of the subjectivity of an era, integral social heritage of humanity as it consciously or unconsciously collects the contributions of philosophy and science, forming a kind of trinitarian pillar of the material-intellectual progress of the species. For this reason, I seek to capture from a mythical-poetic perspective the phenomena and events of my time, to translate visually supported by figuration and geometric abstraction to enhance suggestion, and that is why through this combinatorial capacity I address the possibilities of an idea in pictorial series. With the hybridization of tradition and avant-garde that reinterprets the past and interprets its present as a letter, as a chronicle or inspiration for the future.
