Like other paintings, this one also represents landscapes that don't exist; they are concepts that resulted from the act of making and discovering one's path through an unplanned action. The result may suggest certain environments in which an intricate network of plant elements grows spontaneously. The graphic aspect, in which lines and contrasting colors predominate, aims to represent the movement inherent in the plant world. If seen in rapid succession, this movement would convey the idea of lines evolving over time, which in themselves define a dynamic framework. This dynamic is what we intend to visualize here.
There is a vital force in nature that is specific to each location, this energy leaves a mark on the landscape that differs from place to place and which is difficult to specify in detail but which as a whole becomes recognizable and which we come to identify as “that place”. This matrix becomes a symbol when it comes to characterizing the landscape and has to do with the organization of reality, with the textures and colors, with the relative position of each thing, with the specificities of the elements, the smells, the brightness of the surfaces, the roughness of the ground and the color of the sky. The symbols that interested me in “Ageless in the Raw” were for me the representation of primordial elements such as air, fire, earth and water. Wherever I looked, I found them in several versions and different forms, with an immense plasticity and representing a disturbing and at the same time fascinating fact - everything that existed was composed of basic elements grouped in a certain way that evolved - from In a very simplistic way, this cosmic dynamic defined the motif and contours of my aesthetic interest - the internal pulse of the landscape - it was a scenario that was basically in a process of change, with roots in the distant past and that would possibly remain, even until after the human race disappeared from the face of the Earth.
