Concept

I understand art, and more specifically artistic creation, as a research method in which to develop new concepts and visual, plastic and material frameworks.

In the current period of artistic and personal maturity in which I find myself, I am developing my most intimate artistic project; taking this study to the field of contemporary art, in order to explore various lines of work.

On the one hand, purely abstract creation and on the other hand, mixed creation, interspersing my particular abstraction with more figurative elements and representations.

Dedicating special elaboration to the creative process; my interest in the final work focuses on the conception of it as "that physical and tangible" that has resulted from the set of knowledge, actions, techniques and chance given in the course of the creation of the work; a symbiosis that reaffirms the conception that each piece is unique in all its plastic and conceptual magnitudes.

Today, I have found in abstract art an aspect of work in which I feel completely free creatively and identified conceptually. Through the development of my own technique I create artistic compositions based on the simplicity of the gestural and chromatic act that intend to go a step further: the painting becomes volume, the brushstroke becomes the protagonist, the collage becomes a fundamental element, the process is frozen and the works emanate life and movement.

All this praxis is synthesized in pieces that manage to stop the matter in an exact point; because the color stains that would come off, do not, the liquid instead of evaporating remains solidified, and the two-dimensional recovers presence. Masses of colors, textures, and chromatisms intertwine forming volumes and forms that constitute my own plastic identity.

Concepts: gravity, time, continent-content; matter-absence, breach in traditional notions.
Painting process/technique: my own, the result of experimentation with materials outside the field of fine arts, whose manipulation is laborious and requires full PPE protection. Chemical reactions, solidification of liquids, high temperatures and control in the freezing of pictorial fluids.
________________________________

The paint, in liquid state and its application on the supports conforms the traditional work of art, in this case, this subrogation to the two-dimensional plane is broken; the plastic action takes protagonism, becomes independent of the support and becomes continent and content, matter and absence, painting, sculpture, art itself.
