I work at that point where painting stops responding entirely.
The Untamed Frontier names that limit: unstable, open, necessary.
I do not avoid it, I sustain it.
Four translucent canvas membranes arranged in parallel.
The work is organized in a sequence of separate planes. They do not function as autonomous pieces: the image is built in the relationship between layers.
Support construction
The stretchers are not standard. They are built specifically for this work.
Each structure has a depth of 20 cm, creating an internal chamber where light can circulate without imposing itself on the painting.
— Rabbit-skin glue sizing, regulating absorption
— Application of chalk in thin layers, only to stabilize
— Adjustment of the surface according to the material's response
Painting procedure
Painting is developed with oil in high dilutions. Successive glazes, dripping, and local accumulations are used.
The behavior of the material is not corrected. It is followed.
Light and Perception
Light is housed inside the frames and passes through the canvases.
The work is not resolved from a single point of view. From the front, layers organize; in movement, they overlap; from the side, they disarticulate.
"The work is built at that point where the mastery of the craft reaches, but does not resolve everything."
"Between what is fixed and what is lost, the image does not finish closing."
"That is where the work remains open."
