Cartografías revisadas<br />

Viene <strong>de</strong>l ejercicio <strong>de</strong> revisar series pictóricas anteriores en mi proceso creativo,<br />

con el ánimo <strong>de</strong> revivir una búsqueda que aún no había concluido y que es<br />

posible redirigir en un campo <strong>de</strong> nuevas re<strong>la</strong>ciones.<br />

Es así como se p<strong>la</strong>ntea una exploracion a partir <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> incertidumbre, el estado<br />

<strong>de</strong> anhedonia y <strong>la</strong> perdida ontológica, es <strong>de</strong>cir, p<strong>la</strong>ntear unas preguntas a partir<br />

<strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> situación <strong>de</strong> sentirse “perdido en el mundo” y “en un mundo perdido”;<br />

y más que hal<strong>la</strong>r respuestas a dichas preguntas que <strong>de</strong>cantadas en formalizaciones<br />

objetuales, cerradas y concluyentes, es trasformar <strong>la</strong> acción pictórica<br />

en una exploración <strong>de</strong> cartografías que se diluyen en <strong>la</strong> abstracción y en <strong>la</strong><br />

potencia <strong>de</strong>l gesto cargado <strong>de</strong> color y materia.<br />

Revised cartographies<br />

It comes from the exercise of reviewing previous pictorial series in my creative<br />

process, with the aim of reviving a search that had not yet been completed and<br />

that can be redirected in a field of new re<strong>la</strong>tionships.<br />

This is how I propose an exploration based on uncertainty, the state of anhedonia<br />

and the ontological loss, that is, to pose some questions based on the situation of<br />

feeling “lost in the world” and “in a lost world”; and more than finding answers<br />

to these questions that have been settled in closed, conclusive formalizations, is to<br />

transform the pictorial action into an exploration of cartographies that are diluted<br />

in the abstraction and in the power of the gesture loa<strong>de</strong>d with color and matter.<br />
