Anatomía de lo Efímero - Digital I

ABOUT THESE WORKS

These works (as every esthetic piece of work) have different levels of significance.
One of them is referred to the existing duality between man and his environment, between natural and artificial.
The dead birds symbolize the natural-geological world, whereas the typographical signs symbolize the presence of man and the need of communication through language.
I have tried to find a similarity between bird morphology and the calligraphic signs; whereas in some other cases, I have set a strong contrast between symbols or main objects and the bird images.
It also exists a reference to the passage of time, to the expiration of some things and to the persistence of some others. To the effort of the human being for the transcendence of their own condition.
The ancestral and the contemporary are interlaced in a very same space and time reflecting reciprocally.

ACERCA DE ESTOS TRABAJOS

Estas obras (como toda obra estética) poseen distintos niveles de significación.
Uno de ellos está referido a la dualidad que existe entre el hombre y su entorno, entre lo natural y lo artificial.
Las aves muertas simbolizan el mundo natural-geológico, mientras que los signos tipográficos simbolizan la presencia del hombre y la necesidad de comunicación a través del lenguaje.
He buscado una similitud entre la morfología de los pájaros y los signos caligráficos; mientras que en otros casos, he establecido un fuerte contraste entre los símbolos u objetos principales y las imágenes de las aves.
También existe una alusión al paso del tiempo, a la caducidad de las cosas y a la persistencia de otras…Al esfuerzo del ser humano por trascender su propia condición.
Lo ancestral y lo contemporáneo se entrelazan en un mismo espacio y en un mismo tiempo reflejándose recíprocamente.

Anatomía de lo Efímero

Anatomías de lo Efímero es una serie de obras sobre tela y obras digitales donde he trabajado la estructura ósea de pájaros y aves en cierta relación con estrucuras mofológicas humanas. La idea de fugacidad, de vida y muerte están presentes en estos trabajos. La forma de algunos huesos como la proyección de sus sombras crean una suerte de caligrafía. Es este un elemento que me interesa trabajar en vitud de su carácter expresivo y comunicativo.
Las referencias múltiples sobre la naturaleza, la belleza y la ecología, pueden ser otros referentes relacionados a estas imágenes.
