I approach the language of art from a variety of themes, solutions, genres and media, developing several axes that I consider fundamental, around the contemporary spectator and his relationship with the information that circulates in spaces of cultural mediation, spaces where past and present, heritage and renewal coexist, and which are in a permanent state of transformation...

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 very structures of legitimation of art, previously established. 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.
This series is based on the idea of how political-cultural contexts condition artistic production.
The work establishes a relationship between a straitjacket, a flag and two self-portraits of artists with opposing positions in the face of the same situation; on the one hand, conciliation and on the other, resistance.
The piece is part of a series of works carried out as interventions in public spaces, which aim to underline how the languages of art reproduce a search for aesthetic expressions established by culture. In this case, we start from an aesthetic of the advertising image, linked to a political symbol that encompasses certain ways of life and ways of thinking, with patterns no more liberating than others, coming from other contexts; to which the artists and their productions are subject, to continue underlining the return to these same positions and stereotypes.
This series proposes the deconstruction of the paradigm of narrative directions and conventional forms of perception, eliminating any other data or visceral noise that could place us beyond the sensorial perception of the works, in an attempt to recover an updated view of art, beyond time and the works as a historical consequence…
The series builds a network of convergences in which different motifs converge, interweaving fragile subjective links.
In it, the use of images from the history of art is recurrent and light games are established that directly intervene in the sensitivity of the spectator, promoting a current look at the past, mediated by a “pyrotechnic” event that underlines how increasingly extreme resources are now necessary to be able to return attention to the great works of the past…
