Sinopse

Simultaneously, vision and spirit establish intimacy with the solidly built worlds. The peculiarity of the bare, flat surface is the artist's attraction. Painting, a guarantor of corporeality, develops in perspicuous attitudes: attraction to the enigma. The perpetuity of the effluxive act offers the close connection between critical ingenuity and experience: seduction by the enigma. The representation in the act is possession and experimentation; consequently, it is reminiscence. In this water that flows, sometimes clear, sometimes muddy, we propose making value judgments and taking stances on the understanding of painting and the real in the search for a method that translates, in the plane, the representation of space.
