ART – WILD RIVER

Career

At first glance, this art appears as an abstract composition. However, within this abstraction lies a lettering structure in which calligraphy blends with forms characteristic of my pictorial language developed in the studio.

The work features overlaps and transparencies accompanied by various textures: zebra skin, reddish areas evoking the surface of a ruby, and depth details in sky blue with clouds. These layers interact with a palette of yellows that impart a warmth inspired by 1970s soul.

All of this is built on a dark green background that unifies the composition, where the various elements combine to create a kind of visual potion, designed to capture the gaze and leave the viewer far from indifferent.
