This is part of a new collection of paintings in progress. They are based on images from daily news and media about the demonstrations against the impacts of the economical crisis. The aim of this work is to reflect the fight against the austerity measures imposed to the Spanish society. On completion, it will be a composition of 12 steel plates, 1.30 x 1 meters each, and the relationship between the image, the limitation of colors, the rough painting techniques, and the large scale of this work amplifies the visual effects.
This collection of Digital Paintings, Drawings and Silk Screen Printings (completed through transforming and mixing the classical techniques with computer techniques), forms the PROCESOS PICTORICOS VITALES series, which is a work made during the last six years and still in progress. They are fulfilled on the basis of:
• Using painting expressions in a precognitive method;
• Reflecting humor, depression and irony;
• Adopting Drops, stains, sprays and lines;
• Using standard and individual character as the main protagonist of the picture;
• Using the text as the most intuitive and effective way to address messages to the viewers;
PROCESOS PICTORICOS VITALES series took over the baton from "Simplificación Crítica" (a project of 2005), with the initial inspiration about personal crisis to the art and world around us, reflecting the citizens' postmodern angst in their behaviors.
This current series adds behavior and action reflection into painting and graphic creation, which is a vital process that needs to be pursued continuingly. It needs to keep evolving into new forms and spaces through creating a new subjectivity for critical reflection.
