concealment
Painting as a vision of a reality and concealment at the same time. In this society we sometimes see without looking. Hidden parts, we see without understanding. When we focus on one object or figure we stop seeing others.
There is always something that is hidden. Painting has another tempo in the midst of the dizzying digital world, being flooded with images that we no longer see.
Images that create questions as they are incomplete and hidden. Fragments of a reality that the viewer has to recompose. Undefined faces, without eyes that cannot look, curtains of hair. Walls of hair: figures that produce strangeness and closeness at the same time, generating concern.
The individual, by not showing himself completely, forces him to delve deeper into his interior, disturbing those who observe.
