Zoom into my wounds

2007-05-20T04:25:00.001+03:00

“Zoom into my wounds” is a Paintbrush sketch for an airbrush acrylic painting on canvas.

This theme is mainly inspired on Yves Klein artworks, especially the RE and IKB series.

With clear reminiscences to nature’s stony textures, the main goal of this artwork is to come up with an abrupt, deep and dark cut on a somewhat consistent surface.

In a conceptual point of view, I intend to illustrate the association of physical suffering or pain to its intellectual correspondent, forthcoming an “organic” vision of feelings such as loss, failure or repent.

Japanese Dystopia - Acrylic on Canvas - 0.1x0.15m (brush-sword technique)

2007-05-08T02:18:00.000+03:00

Japanese Dystopia is the result of an experimental work on a technique which I would describe as "re-shaping ink drops over dark backgrounds".

This technique is inspired in traditional Asian silk embroidering, - mostly shapes of dragon's and flames - and plays with strong contrasts of colours and textures of fresh ink drops when "sculpted" with very thin and fast brush strokes, almost as if the brush was a sword.

The main conceptual goal of this theme is to approach a set of well-known iconographic Asian shapes in the perspective of the unconscious, creating a weary and gloomy remembrance of things yet to come, although the core of that remembrance of the future is always deeply connected to the individual's past experiences.

This metamorphosis of absolute dreamy icons into distorted shapes is a synthesis of the anti-utopian scenario established by the confrontation of the individual's dreams and motivations versus the civilization ideals and needs,
for the term dystopia is quite an adequate title.

The resulting textures intend also to present the painting with a non dried ink aspect, almost begging the observer to believe the artwork is not finished and will soon be the renewed target of unpredictable transformations.

This effect is used to strengthen the idea of a dynamic and almost interactive artwork, like the future, as life itself.
