Working with ceramics.

 

The work in ceramics is a continuation of the work that I was making in wood, following the same speech line but now facing the series to this new possibility of working with ceramics.   I was afraid at the begining facing me to this new technique and it costs me a little to be concentrated, mainly in the adaptation of the concept to the material,  with time I retook control in my work that walked half gropingly, not only putting order to my mind, but visualizing what I wanted to do, clarify and then preparing me to work direction. The connection with the series and all the images that bring with it was immediate and the encounter was very positive.

 

I began very uncertain about managing and giving sustainability and firmness to the sculptures. So, I armed a structure with wire, but it was not rigid enough and when mounting the mud the weight exceeds  overcaming the sculpture, so twice I finished breaking it in pieces and beginning again from zero, the third time was no necessity to wait, when setting was divided crumbling completely.  So I made a new structure with wire and enmeshes of steel, and I began the base of the construction later to raise the rest of the body, while it was drying I was modeling. Now I am modeling without needing structure, but playing with the fingers and wood tools that help me to press while I am modeling. I have used some engobes and enamels for the last appearance  pieces.

Production has been quite successful. I am finding an amplest range of possibilities that material has which passionate me and force me to be experiencing so much in the  sculpture form and its manufacture and the search of the last appearance that heightens the romanticism of the speech. I discover that in this material I feel not only  very excited but it maintains me eager to want to discover my capacities, it's a challenge.

 

Wood work.

 

The wood engraving took me to draw on the wood, later to trim it and to work it and in a  puzzle way to realise the printing. When finishing the printmaking I took these wood pieces, repeating the procedure of the drawn up one, trims and work with gouges but to do my compositions on wood frames equally worked generating textures and volume and taken part with pure oils, turpentine spirit, varnishes and pigments. This series is called wood walks, a representation of the daily walks of people that I saw from the window, taking as central object its suits and accessories that speak of them.

Life lines series.

 

 

The life lines is the result of the work carried out in silkscreen printing and what it allows to obtain alive and solid colors. This series was, at issue technique, a color speech  investigation,  that's why the stage practically  are a kind of screen conformed by squared strips or of some other color that establishes its own speech with the rest. I add the characters to the front outlined with  chinese ink followed of the lines that end up giving the final speech to the pieces, that all we are like a thread that intercrosses in  life with others at different moments, those moments are not important as encounter that's the reason why is translated like a great basic screen. This series was made to be exhibit in summer of 2008 at Galería Libertad de la Ciudad de Querétaro.

De Zacatecas.

 

Before leaving Zacatecas in 2005, I wanted to carry out a painting that characterizes the special personality of this city. The exemplification results being a girl with a lovely beauty, but very proud. Irresistible but difficult. Just as I see her nowadays. The posture was exactly a proud cat posture imitation, on foot looking with reject and indifference, but with an harmonic rhythm in its composition.

First chapter portrait

 

The new story of a character begins. The first chapter of a story like one of those we see every day in each place. Stories that intimate, intercross, come together in a space or another one, a situation or another one, a number or ten, like those we recognize in front to the mirror every morning. I take this character this time, to contemplate it, to study it, to examine it, to insert me in which is and goes being a new chapter of a story. The series will be composed by ten pieces, ten pictures realised on a 45 x 65 cm size, on cotton paper  of this in which he is the human being at the beginning, in a first chapter.

 
 

 

     Compositions.

 

Carrying out sketches, notes, drawings, exercises, analysis, has allowed me to be giving directionality to my work. I don’t present them as finished pieces but as samples to where I direct my search. In this case, structural and chromatic composition studies.
