Today's world moves at breakneck speed, things go out of style as fast as they arrive, and the amount of information a person consumes on a daily basis makes it more difficult to perpetuate themselves in the hearts of the public. The current artist is obliged to make use of new methods and new technologies to reinvent his work, it is poor that digital illustration has become so relevant in recent years, relegating the popularity of works made in a "traditional" way to the background. However, regardless of the technique that the artist uses to create his work, what is really important is the ability to transform our work to transcend in these turbulent times, it is vital to analyze our approach, allow us to study the technique to which we are related and perfect it without neglecting the expressiveness of the work.

Although sight is the painter's most important sense, our ability to perceive can change a bit, relating colors to sounds, scenes, memories, smells, etc., and if we then have the ability to relate our paintings to some sensations, is it possible to awaken these stimuli in other people?

El mundo actual se mueve a una velocidad vertiginosa, las cosas pasan de moda tan rΓ‘pido como llegan y la cantidad de informaciΓ³n que una persona consume a diario hace que sea mas difΓ­cil perpetuarse en el corazΓ³n del pΓΊblico. El artista actual estΓ‘ obligado a hacer uso de nuevos mΓ©todos y nuevas tecnologΓ­as para reinventar su trabajo, es poor esto que la ilustraciΓ³n digital ha tomado tanta relevancia en estos ΓΊltimos aΓ±os, relegando a un segundo plano la popularidad de obras hechas de forma "tradicional". Sin embargo, independientemente de la tΓ©cnica que el artista use para crear su obra, lo realmente importante es la capacidad de transformar nuestro trabajo para trascender en estos tiempos turbulentos, es vital analizar nuestro enfoque, permitirnos estudiar la tΓ©cnica a la que seamos afΓ­nes y perfeccionarla sin dejar de lado la expresividad de la obra.

Si bien la vista es el sentido mas importante del pintor, nuestra capacidad de percepciΓ³n puede cambiar un poco, relacionando colores con sonidos, escenas, recuerdos, olores, etc., y si tenemos entonces la capacidad de relacionar nuestras pinturas a algunas sensaciΓ³nes ΒΏEs posible despertar estos estΓ­mulos en otras personas?

This is the second dark painting, it represents Charon crossing the Styx with a soul on board, it is for this legend that in ancient Greece corpses were buried with 2 silver coins in the eyes or a coin under the tongue, as it was believed that in this way they could pay the boatman after death, a custom that was later adopted by Roman culture. This painting is made with pastel chalk on black cardboard, with an impressionist style that has become characteristic in my paintings.

Esta es la segunda pintura oscura, representa a Caronte cruzando el EstΓ­gia con un alma a bordo, es por esta leyenda que en la antigua Grecia se enterraban los cadΓ‘veres con 2 monedas de plata en los ojos o una moneda bajo la lengua, pues se creΓ­a que de esta forma podΓ­an pagar al barquero luego de la muerte, costumbre que luego fue adoptada por la cultura romana. Esta pintura estΓ‘ hecha con tiza pastel sobre cartulina negra, con un estilo impresionista que se ha vuelto ya caracterΓ­stico en mis pinturas.

I instantly knew what it was ... very evocative! The nicest touch was that the soul looks content ... it is a dark but peaceful image, head sunk upon the hand, looking around without fear.

The process of HOW you made this is fascinating ... the way the curves are made and intersect ... the Greeks understood in their design the necessity of the curve to give liveliness to even inanimate figures, and so the way you did this evoked the myth and the myth makers as well!
