Transformation
Transformation was a project developed during 3 months and executed on a smooth, white canvas that measures 118" x 130" (3 x 3.30 m.) in which, at the beginning, I inscribed the work’s title.I then loaded gradually the canvas with multiple techniques and materials that covered the title and darkened the canvas until I achieved severe and coarse textures. The painting was then gradually lightened with layers of softer materials until the surface was flattened in certain parts where cuts and perforations revealed the hidden stratus. A wide range of materials were used, including acrylics and oils, basic construction materials, paper, cloth and miscellaneous objects, which constitute the work’s final homogeneity. Then I cut the painting. The decomposition of its visual unity gave birth to twenty nine smaller works which, due to their new contact in the space, return to life in their own visual individuality.
