For us, art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing
to take the risk
Mark Rothko
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks that a good idea would
be to give them
Andy Warhol
"Cuidado, Camino y Límite", La Otra Banda Gallery, University of The Andes, 2007
This was my second individual exhibition, in which I highlighted the use of the installation on the floor of the room, and paintings made in situ in the Gallery The Other Band. The installation consists of potentially hurtful elements (vertically oriented iron nails) glued to fragments of cardboard on the floor and located strategically creating grooves to walk through these fragments. The idea was to cause within the audience a sense of spatial mortification for care. The "care" as one of the daily aspects of the world, explores the fears of the disaster and chaos of walking in the world, refers to the constant stalking of commitment to our vitality and existence due to the war alarms that in many countries have not stopped happening from 2001 to 2007, and still continue. The paintings encompass the exhibition project with themes related to the deprivation of the freedoms of the human being, the meaning of death, terror, doubts, fear, flight, drugs.
