Our eyes meet time and time again with a des-integrated and fragmented space; like separate pieces of a puzzle, shapes and lights only show their true sense when brought together. In this way, the image is de-constructed and offers nothing but an incomplete view of the surroundings.

I started the series with gatherings of human figures in different spaces, instants in motion that bring together photography and painting. Thus, the aesthetical values of photography are the starting point for this series of works. I have made use of abundant photographic material, selecting, and manipulating those I found most attractive given their technical imperfections: unfocused, too much or too little light, blurred, etc. With this, I have built up and magnified the scenes. They are mostly interiors where people gather in mass: bars, concert venues, nightclubs, etc. The atmosphere of such places seeks to transform reality or its occupants through lighting, colours, etc. It becomes a place of passing, incomplete and dreamlike, where the human figure is no more than a shadow of appearance captured in an instant by the camera. Any sense of individuality is diluted in the homogeneous mass of people.

This series points out the distance between the object and the spectator, as well as the temporary nature of photographs: light effects that seem real, shapes that are unfocused, moving, exposed, etc. As technical “errors”, these effects become expressions of a concrete reality, footprints of time, traces of photographic illusions. As a forgery of truthful appearances, the painting confirms the illusion, and this I find aesthetically fascinating. Oil on cavans,100 x 81 cm.
