Land

I am grateful how everything had magically unfolded. After months of non-stop working in the studio, the possibility of having a workshop coinciding with the Bushwick open studios changed the rhythm of the summer and I had the opportunity to look at the work done.

This is one of the paintings from last year, one of the first Lands of Prayers. It looks to me now as a fundamental work between the ovals evolving in charcoal and the stream works of the year '19. I notice in this painting the intimacy of internal questions that are ravaging me and continue to intensify and focus: the artist as such and what a work of art is and from where arises, All in the silence of prayer.

Cut out transparency

Looking through folders and portfolios I found this cut out transparency. The watermarks are from a clear plastic that I use to protect them until they are ready to be framed.

In reality, the frame of these works is part of an ongoing discussion: how and where.

Some of them, when framed, lose a certain fluidity, especially they lose the shadows and the color changes that they produce when they are crossed by light during the day unless they are located near a source of natural light.

Windows, doors and walls are still the way to go.
