When the subject, the motive and the aesthetic reflection coincide in a specific place and time, a work of art occurs. However, in contemporary societies the relationship between these elements has dissolved, given the development of global communication mechanisms, and also due to the deployment of new forms of production, consumption and circulation of art, which perpetuate an uncertain record of the social, which in turn distorts the already established structures. Nido de Espectators arises from the need to underline this condition of contemporary art, where the contexts and the ways of establishing an aesthetic relationship are conditioned by a fluctuating event.

The relationship between metallic and matte pigments, of similar colour and tone, may correspond exactly on one plane of the object, but the point of view can lead to the appearance of other planes within it, given the relationship between traditional oil colours, which tend to remain as such, as opposed to metallic acrylics, of more recent origin, which change according to the angle of view...
The visual impression that the mind receives remains for at least an eighth of a second after the image has been removed. But the problem of the temporality of subjective vision is linked to other parallel contemporary philosophical discourses, which describe a vision based on temporal overlap, where the subject tends to superimpose past and present to capture a more complete idea of the observed object or event. That is, for each thing to complete itself, it goes through a series of processes that follow one another - in which the last always involves the previous one.
This is how the idea of the cube brought to painting is not linked to its representation, but its representation is, in the perception of the subject, the result of an interactive process within itself...
