Euclidian Fields
The process of 'Euclifian Fields' comes from photographing the lines in sports fields and then 'explaining' these images by geometric notatios on blackboards. The work is in fact a series, where various images are to be understood via the geometrical language. Here only one of the images and its 'explanations' are showed.
'Euclidian Fields' is a paradox in its own for it is a frustrated attempt to understand the material world by reducing it to a bidimensional synthesis that does not comprehend its totallity.

Division #2
It is interresting how some fragments of matter are curiously awhaiting for the moment in which they become art. Some works seem to be latent, in a cocooning manner until an entity places its understanding over it. However, it is not a random understanding, but that of the art. When an artist sees it as art it is therefore art, for the work of the artist is not to deliberately produce art, but to bring it to materiality from the realm of the concepts. Art is something of the mind before it is of the senses.
Division #2 was found and was found as it is. According to Dr. Carl Gustav Jung we are all attracted to thing we need or long for in a process he calls 'sincronicity'. Therefore findings are not random, findings are process of creation.
Division #2 brings with it a direct unfolding from the works 'Division' and '1/2' (both can be seen in previous posts in this blog) and brings their questions once again: the intangible notions brought by the measuring and deliberate fractioning of the material realm.

36kg of Triangle
The work "36kg of Triangle" deals with the unsolvable question of materially measuring concepts. The triangle, as a linguistic idea produced by civilization, exists in its absoluteness only in the conceptual realm. When something with those charachteristics is brought to matter all the material questions start to take place, having size, weight, texture, volume...
This work confronts the abstract ideas of geometry to the tangible world, therefore a triangle is put to its limits starting to exist, ambiguously, by a power of tension that in the form that we know only exists within materiality. The entire establishement of this form comes to be in a way of its measuring, not in terms of bidimensional understanding such as area or perimeter, but by the weight of the tension that produces it: 36kg of triangle.
