About the work

SPECULATION
Mixed media on canvas:
Flat, glossy, aluminum, mirror roll foil,
pearl, and fluo colors.
48 x 60 in (122 x 152 cm)

After an advanced study and a closer research into the visual definition of this metaphysical thought about SPECULATION, I find that abstract and purely theoretical thinking is channelled in several directions and finds its roots only in practice and experience. Any speculation that is not life-related is nonexistent. If we move away from philosophical speculative thinking, based on speculation, I found this can be applied in visual art. This means the colour applied to painting directly on a surface would be necessary, but not mandatory. Additional colour is obtained through the absorption reflection from the outside without being applied, using different materials and techniques. So painting gets new dynamic colours, the surplus of the colours applied objectively, real, previously on the desired surface.

The neutral white and black gestures that are applied to the surface of the canvas, are in direct harmony with the surrounding reflections. These reflections are absorbed by a vertical reflex mirror strip, glued to the surface of the canvas behind the black gestures, thus subtly and dynamically colouring the surface of this visual. The paint can remain neutral, black and white, or can be dynamically coloured, depending on the environment where it is mounted. The neutral visual dynamics previously applied, and the reflexes captured by the mirror strip are disturbed by an obstacle, a green-yellow fluorescent point, which is intended as a center of interest. This obstacle is subtle or forced, depends on the state of the viewer.

So this creates pictorial spatial expression, which leads to an inner emotional vibration.

All these methods of technique and thought have triggered this idea which gave rise to works, SPECULATION.
