MISE EN ABYME
“a story within a story,” “a picture within a picture,” “a performance within a performance,” “a film within a film”
“a story within a story,” “a picture within a picture,” “a performance within a performance,” “a film within a film”
The influence of the
painting as a window in the visual arts, limits the framing and the symbolic
space that perspective creates. The
installation Mise En Abyme reflects about the limits between reality and fiction in art
conceiving the space as occupied margins. The exhibition space becomes a scene
for the re-presentation; both a framed space and a framework, an intermediary
between the real space of the room and that of the painting.
Painted or
written history, both frame the myth; its representation: The painting as a window is the image as a
screen, it is the frame as a scene; In short, a symbolic space, a perspective,
in this case abyssal.
A
scenography of transparent fragments that, like a wounded and inner window,
evokes the rocky forms of ice, caves or cliffs on a horizon of broken glass
that frames the landscape. A mise-en-abyme where the viewer is both an
observer and performer subject within an hypnotic dialogue with the work.
Participant of a fragmentation with respect to the whole, either from the
inside to the outside, either literal or metaphorical, the work itself is a
symbol of the abruption between real life and dreams. The exhibition lets us sense
the outer world of the scene as it makes us complicit in its approachless
reality.
THE FRAME OF ILLUSION
In the Renaissance,
the painting was defined as -a transparent window through which one looked to a
section of the visible world-. With time, its history evolved, becoming more
sophisticated and even standardized under a measurement system adapted to the
pictorial genres of figure, paysage, marine. Shortly after, the
Industrialization would bring revolutionary formats of illusionism such as the
moving image.
The installation The
Frame of Illusion reflects on both re-presentation systems from the visual
pictorial scene: the picture / window and its equivalent of image / screen.
A symmetric
scenography shows three standard painting (figure, landscape and seascape) confronted to three floating frames that, suspended in the gallery room, work as
mimetic projecting screens that reproduce the pictorial artworks on video. When
looking at them we notice a temporal dimension. Shadows move describing the
path of natural light through the simulated void spaces. This system presents a
dual scenario to the viewer: the contemplative experience of the painting that
requires time next to its “instant” version shown on the virtual experience of
the video projecting screens.

SINIK
In inuit, sinik means dream
Radical sini_ edge, limit or border
The peoples of Arctic regions measure distance
in dreams or sinik, that is, in the number of nights a trip lasts. This poetic,
inaccurate measure of time and space brought me on board of a tall ship expeditionary trip towards North Pole on the summer solstice of 2014.
Every midnight, in the hour of dreams, as the
boat breaks through the edges of the frozen waters of the Arctic sea, the waves
movement rocks the remains of fresh paint sparkling on deck under the euphoric
midnight sun.
Sinik is a site-specific ship’s logbook
navigating time and space under the hours of sunlight, wind, rain and snow of
this trip. A leeway that through colours psychology shows a somnambulist
reflection of the sleep disorders. A nocturnal logbook, a cartography, a sailing journey that lasts a dream.

WHITE SHADES
“Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you,
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded,
I do not know whether a man or a woman.
But who is that on the other side of you?
“What the Thunder Said” The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot
In the vast immensity of ice desert, the explorer and his white shadow are imbued with a terrifying infinity. The lost traveler experiences a journey of loneliness accompanied by his ghost. White Shades is inspired by the fata morgana effect. A superior mirage that is due to an inversion of temperatures. This is a common phenomenon on frozen surfaces usually seen in the morning at calm Arctic seas. Islands, cliffs, ships, or glaciers on the horizon take on the appearance of fairy castles.
The set explores the limits between reality and fiction, trying to illuminate, or perhaps overshadow with colour, the border between legend and reality. Complementary coloured lights bathe silent symmetrical photos of hypnotic arctic landscapes thanks to dichroic crystals like fantasy navigational instruments.

BORDER COLORS
Border Colors takes its title from the scientific discovery made by the German’s
modern intellectual Wolfgang Von Goethe. He defined that colors emerge from
the border-light frontier that occurs in between light and darkness. -“The
reunion between polarities of the Divine Light and Darkness”-. Included in his
treatise The Theory of Colors, 1810.

In
keeping with the author’s romantic spirit, the proposal raises questions about
the subjective perception of colour framed in the psychological experience of
midnight sunlight and the imaginary border of the North Pole’s conquest.

AURA
Aura is a performingaudio-pictorial installation based on the idea of capturing a moment of experimental audition expressed through a physical form. Its presence as an object is capable of establishing closeness with the spectator. The dialogue explores the limits between visual, musical and performing arts by direct interaction with the public. Aura was presented in 2014 at the Casa Velazquez Académie de France à Madrid Open Studios and at the 400 Auditorium of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in collaboration with CNDM.

The most famous images from outer space are an interpretation. A meticulous translation of data collected by telescopes that, like Hubble, record light in the form of black and white images. They are later color processed by astronomers for their ease of study. In this way, colors are modified to become intelligible. If we could travel there, we would discover that the perceived colors so far do not faithfully reproduce what our eye would see. Our visual imaginary about the origin of the stars or the future of a galaxy, comes from an imagined chromatic basis.
It is well known that
the matter that made life possible on Earth came from the interior of an
asteroid that impacted on it. Pigments are minerals part of Earth and
originates physical color, both in its qualities of creating and executing
painting.
Color Constellations
puts this scientific and metaphysic relationships in front of each other; with
a sort of pictorial existentialism, it questions the origins of abstract
painting, discussing color, light, matter, or gesture. By reinterpreting the
fundamentals of color-pigment and color-light, Stardust, Infinity Series and
Fatto d’Archimia form an organic conjunction that serves as a metaphor of the
creation of its own pictorial universe. Furthermore, the project is conceived
to keep open to new questions, manifesting an intention of continuity as on
every plastic investigation.

PLASTIC POETRY
![]()
The
barrier with the tangible vanishes as the fuzzy blur of a photograph.
The
stopped sequence of a movement.
The veiled
transparency of the plastic material allows us to guess lost figures in an
atmosphere of mist and haze.
Mixed
feelings are hidden beneath an appearance of poetic plasticity.
The
curious and intangible ambiguity of existence.
The
fragile subtle beauty contained in an instant, everything
overwhelming everything.
OPHELIA’S MADNESS
![]()
Inspired by Hamlet's romantic comedy, Ophelia's Madness proposes a reflection on existential anguish through the innocent and unstable gaze of Ofelia. The borderline that separates dualism and polar tensions blurs in dichotomies such as reasoning and emotion, passion and indifference, madness and sanity as defining relationships of the human being's fragility.
