The Ways of Life

"The Ways of Life"
 

Markers on paper, 14 Jan 1984

  The decision had been taken the previous year: Painting was over (see "Polyforms"). However, the itch hadn't gone. A few months later I picked a box of markers and started playing with them, drawing stone-like structures. Then I inserted some fluid shapes that I would develop more fully 20 years later. Quite self-explanatory, the resulting picture was satisfactory enough for me, although somewhat unnerving to the viewer...

Lava Rock

"Lava rock"
Watercorlor on paper, 26 May 2004

  I rarely paint to copy reality. I prefer to imagine small details that usually are part of a whole: stones, grass, ponds, individual trees... Of course they are just interpretations, most of them abstract, experiments off the shore where creativity lurks, rather than the much more walked, safe standard bays ...

Stone candles

"Stone candles"

Watercolor on paper, 14 Aug. 2007

  Interesting surrealist contrast between what we know and what we see. Candles that we know are light, warm, soft. These are solid, dark and cold.

We can create concepts of things non existing, and still give them a place in our world, independently of its convenience... just because we can.

The pulse of Gaia

"The pulse of Gaia"
 

Acrylic, washed ink and pen on paper, 27 Dec. 1977

 

"The pulse of Gaia"

Computer vectorial design, ca. 1995

  The planet as a living entity was popularized by J. E. Lovelock in 1979 in his book "Gaia, a new look at life on Earth". At that time though there was a widely spread belief in Mother Earth having a soul and being connected with all living beings dwelling on it. Many ancient cultures had that belief in fact, and the young generations in the 60's and 70's moved near these ancient myths looking for new values to adhere on.

  Synchronicity works in mysterious ways. The idea of our planet as a living body was present in my mind since early 70's, so I wanted to express that extraordinary concept in the first sketch above. Mountains are correlated with the heart-beat pulses below them, while the omni-present sun gives its energy to the whole. The title was decided before Lovelock's book edition.

  Twenty years later I made a computer-aid version (second image), as part of a computer-designed book that will be shown in this blog later on.

Poliforms

"Poliforms"

Watercolor, washed ink and pen on paper, Dec. 1983

 

 

  One of the few pieces of the 1980-2004 period. I tried to experiment with what I had learned so far, in the idea that painting was already something past and that probably I wouldn't paint any more- I just let me my mind go free in a reverse process: I painted the colors and shades first - then I outlined the shades with a technical pen, the result being something in between abstract expressionism and surrealism.

Tunguska

"Tunguska"

Watercolor on paper, 30 Dec. 2005

  7:17 am, 30 June 1908, at 60°55′N 101°57′E, you didn't want to be there. A titanic explosion took place just over the ground, destroying everything for many miles around. I tried to imagine ground zero in that very same moment.

  We don't appreciate things we love until we lose them. Changes can happen in a split second... and by then it's too late to do whatever was pending. Don't ever delay saying "I love you" to those you really do love, because you don't know if there will be a better "now" to say it... "Tunguskas" of all kinds can happen in our lives far more often than we think...
