In this project, an artistic investigation will be carried out based on pictorial experimentation through the analysis of two urban centers: Avilés and Bilbao.

It is about investigating painting from photographic images, whether my own or from archives, of what is closest to me, of fragments linked to these two places between which I move and try to locate myself. Build a bridge between these two places, a third place, one with different rules.

I start from a feedback between various elements of plastic and visual expression, thus generating a relationship between photography, the use of maps and documents or the virtual representation of these places on platforms such as Google Maps. All this to provide the painting with a certain symbology inherent to the colors and shapes themselves. Highlighting the transformations generated by industrialization, first and industrial reconversion later. The images I work with have something of a found object, and so does the result.

A starting point, a formal resource that situates me and helps me think about concepts that interest me. Respond to a pictorial search about what surrounds me, raise a series of questions around the idea of ​​place, space and time.

Selected project from the 1st Call for Artistic Residencies 2021
