“My work focuses on mechanical actions that involve repetition, accumulation, and routines taken to the extreme. I am interested in executing specific tasks, being a machine, producing, looking for the no sense of doing. What is art for? What is its function? These questions always bring me to the pointless, the absurd.
Read MoreThe works that are part of this project have different chromatic scales. I start from the selection of colors given by the manufacturer of the pens, and I repeat the sequence until I cover the entire surface of the paper, drawing lines with several “strokes” of each one of the pens. Following an orderly pattern of movements I generate patterns, thus establishing a relationship with the lines in the paper similar to the waver with his textile work.
Once the pattern of the artwork is set, all I have to do is to work.
Manual work is having a huge momentum and it is establishing comparisons with the artistic processes. In this case, the end result of my works remind us of tapestry, in which the weft and warp go away interweaving, being themselves the final image and composition. I use different techniques, production processes and resources, proposing a dialogue between craft, art and painting.”
