These paintings represent for me noncartographied territories. They could be seen as a fast glimpse of geographical appearances at variating speeds. The movements on the surface of the earth look like they are being viewed through a digital lens of observation, territory through high technological devices – which bring to the human consciousness new types of colours and materialities than the ones we usually associate with territory. These processed colours and shapes separated by sharp demarcation lines keep their artificial specificity, contrary to the colors that in nature melt and transform.
Speed and altitude alter the colour’s density and saturation. When viewing territory digitally mediated by the screen, our mental representation about the colors of the earth changes too. In our interior image of this processed landscape chromatic, we encounter infinite layers of colours and densities that fuse.
As the scale of art changed and overpasses human dimensions, zooming in and out can be confounded. We loose the references and the representation is the dimension of nature itself. This universal scale can be almost monstruous.
I would like to retain in my paintings this site-less monumentality and simplicity.
