My work explores the essence of contemporary art through minimalist pieces created on canvas, but with a unique organic aspect. My captivating paintings mesmerize the eye with their subtle textures. By playing with corrosion effects and using earthy natural tones, I create a true immersion in the harmony between art and the natural world.

Context: In a world that constantly chases perfection, "Wounds of Time: Corrosion and Rebirth" invites us to reflect on the inherent beauty of imperfection and transience.
Inspiring Philosophy: Inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, this work celebrates the marks that time leaves on us and our surroundings, recognizing in them a unique form of beauty and authenticity.
Description of the Work

Technique and Materials: Using a combination of metals prone to oxidation and mixed techniques that favor the emergence of rich and varied textures, this work captures the essence of transformation and the passage of time.
Visual: The piece features a color palette ranging from earthy tones to the vibrant oranges and reds of rust, interspersed with fragments of clarity symbolizing rebirth.
Key Concepts

Corrosion as Metaphor: Oxidation represents not only physical degradation but also lived experiences, losses, and learnings. It's a reminder that even in decomposition, there's a story worth telling.
Rebirth: Through corrosion, a new form of beauty emerges, one that values scars as symbols of strength and survival.
Impermanence: This work reminds us of the constant evolution of life, accepting impermanence as an integral part of our existence.
