My pictorial work is part of the search for a language that explores the poetics of the passage of time and the processes of memory.
Messages and calligraphy, primordial cities… lost in the middle of an unattainable ocean of time tell us about the changing nature of memory, what has lost its original meaning and offer us an escaped view of man and culture .
In this latest series I am delving into the possibilities of collage. The use of this connects me to two qualities that are antithetical: its fragility which is apparent and real and its ability to preserve, to perpetuate the intangible. Irregular formats that exceed the limits of the picture also reinforce the idea of how memory is sometimes reconstructed from fragments and how we try to fill in the gaps with scraps of our invention.
It is a process of construction-destruction work, of material manipulation to capture pigmented strata, grafted sediments of colors, torn textures, documents… with the will of time and memory to melt and disappear.
