The works in Dartroom - Las obras en Dartroom

Text in English and Spanish - Texto en inglés y en español Translated to English with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Towards the end of November 2021 I started to create a new series of works in Dartroom, based on my own drawings and paintings. The analogical drawings, paintings and engravings were reworked using the possibilities offered by digital tools: adding layers, wefts, textures, producing chromatic variations, contrast, brightness among many other variables, trying to exploit the enormous possibilities offered by digital editing. For the elaboration of these works I resorted to a great extent to mixtures and fusions with textures and wefts coming from other paintings and photographs. My intention is that the works coined in Dartroom speak for themselves, allowing different interpretations and readings, which is why I will not elaborate on what each of them means to me, but I will say in general that they are linked to themes and issues that I personally consider of th...

New mixtures - Nuevas mixturas de fotogramas

Text in English and Spanish - Texto en inglés y en español New mixtures  I am going to refer to a group of works that without being part of a specific series have a fundamental point in common that allows me to group them in the same group: they were all elaborated from analog black and white photographs taken by me during the 90's. These photographs from the 90's were retaken and reelaborated by merging and mixing them with images from old deteriorated analog photographic films. These photographs from the 90's were retaken and reworked by merging and mixing them with images from old deteriorated analog photographic film. These mixed images will be minted in HEN at different times.   Deconstruction Decontruction is based on a photograph taken -from the street- of a demolished upper floor, in which very few parts were still standing, standing out among what remained were the openings. The frames of doors that are no longer there, with no walls to hold on to, are presented as...

Out of series - Fuera de serie

Texts in English and Spanish - Textos en inglés y en español In this opportunity I am going to refer to some of my works in HEN that were made outside of series or groups of works. Axons and dendrites Axons and dendrites is a composition made from the collage and fusion of some old deteriorated photographic films and an image downloaded from a free image bank.  By means of digital editing, the images were manipulated and merged, altering dimensions, position, contrasts, colors, dimensions, among other variables. Axons and dendrites intends to refer to the brain activity involved in the creation of a work.  Creating a work implies selecting elements, materials, the choice of techniques, shapes, techniques, colors.... These choices imply an affective commitment, an intellectual effort and a physical body that carries out the task, that modifies the world, that operates on reality to add to it something that was not there before. I am convinced that taking pieces of the world to ...
