PRESENCIAS, AUSENCIAS

With this opening quote, I try to illustrate the spine of my work as an artist. There is nothing new about thinking that works are a reflection of their creators, so as a way of justification, by chance, my life has been full of cities and moving: these trips mark, in a transversal manner, everything that I do. The time and the space understood as being the closest level to human beigns, that is, the quotidian, become the main and obsessive theme of my work.

The drawings that are shown here show broken pieces of times which are impossible to overlap. My main interest are characters, and I leave the spatial representation aside, trying that through painting and illusion, they can share different times in the same moment.

The use of basic materials in paper such as graphite and charcoal, just like the scarcity of spatial references, responds to the necessity of being hygienic which each and every one of the works: black over white, trying to avoid being distracted of the main theme. Black is the preence, white is the absence, but the rules are not always followed: sometimes the drawn trace is an absence of evidence.

Our own vision as an illusion abided to determining infintes, the representation and interpretation as another ilusion of relatity, is, in short, the game that I present to you in the Alvargonzález Foundation.
