PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Perspectivas aereas is a project of almost two years. I have worked and continue working this series on glass tables, which give frame and height to these very fine fabrics.
There is a gestural geometry with which I paint aerial figures, or also a kind of aerial beings, since my intention is to break the stiffness of the line with aerodynamic curves.
The project consists of 20 aerodynamic pieces.  Most of them are oils on fine canvas and highlighting the same concept, I also work maps of countries and continents with black ink and colored pencils.
The layers that appear as sketches in a superposition of lines and veiled forms, speak to us of the deep, of the absence of chance and rather the presence of causality. The white sectors in the fabrics are eloquent; They are not neutral funds, on the contrary, they give meaning to the figure represented. These forms of straight and curved lines that, in some cases seem to emanate fluids, are full of senses.
We intuit a human presence that could have given rise to the structures, and for this reason, absence is evident through that emptiness that only highlights loneliness. We could be before vestiges or traces of something that disintegrates or, on the contrary, signs of what emerges. Finally, initial signs that invite us to look deep in solitude,  facing a world in which we have to face invisible threats, which not only attack the bodies, but our entire cultural and economic system, where even a rite that we have practiced since the beginning of humanity;  we have to reconstitute ourselves based on deep reflexion and a perspective look.
