I do not paint glaciers.
I work on their condition.
A glacier is not a fixed form. It is accumulation, pressure, displacement. A body that seems stable, but is in constant transformation.
This instability is the starting point.
Painting is organized from there.
There is no prior drawing. There is no image to represent. Form is not defined beforehand. It appears from superposition, from density, from the tension between layers.
The material does not cover.
It filters.
The surface does not contain.
It lets through.
Light is not applied.
It passes through.
In this system, painting ceases to function as an image and begins to behave like a body. Something that has thickness, that responds to light, that changes according to the environment.
The work is not the same at all moments.
It changes.
And within that modification, a different temporality appears. Not that of the instant, but that of the process. That of something formed slowly and also lost.
Glaciar Latente (Latent Glacier) does not seek to represent a landscape.
It works on an experience.
An experience of instability.
Of something that seems solid, but is in motion. Of something that sustains itself, but at the same time transforms.
At that point, painting ceases to fix.
It begins to behave like an open system.
A field where matter, light, and time operate at the same level.
Without hierarchies.
Without closure.
In constant transformation.
