My work explores the essence of contemporary art through minimalist pieces created on canvas, but with a unique organic aspect. My captivating paintings mesmerize the eye with their subtle textures. By playing with corrosion effects and using earthy natural tones, I create a true immersion in the harmony between art and the natural world.

• Context: In a world that constantly chases perfection, "Wounds of Time: Corrosion and Rebirth" invites us to reflect on the inherent beauty of imperfection and transience.
• Inspiring Philosophy: Inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, this work celebrates the marks that time leaves on us and our surroundings, recognizing in them a unique form of beauty and authenticity.

Description of the Work

• Technique and Materials: Using a combination of metals prone to oxidation and mixed techniques that favor the emergence of rich and varied textures, this work captures the essence of transformation and the passage of time.
• Visual: The piece features a color palette ranging from earthy tones to the vibrant oranges and reds of rust, interspersed with fragments of clarity symbolizing rebirth.

Key Concepts

1. Corrosion as Metaphor: Oxidation represents not only physical degradation but also lived experiences, losses, and learnings. It's a reminder that even in decomposition, there's a story worth telling.
2. Rebirth: Through corrosion, a new form of beauty emerges, one that values scars as symbols of strength and survival.
3. Impermanence: This work reminds us of the constant evolution of life, accepting impermanence as an integral part of our existence.
