My work is a very personal exploration. It shows what excites and moves me: placing energy on an object through my hands. For me it is almost a physical and spiritual need. I feel delighted by the hidden traces and strokes artists leave unknowingly on their artwork. We do not easily perceive these traces which are the remnant of an energy, the same one we need for everyone’s survival. I want this energy to imprint my own life, this is why I have lately been incorporating my other passion on my work- mathematical engineering - and I have been creating works in a mathematical key.
The movement and shapes of water on any surface inspires this
Coral Reef work. Connecting the study of physical parameters like
viscosity, density, porosity, fluids and art materials with
specific mathematical models, give us the possibility to associate
them in an artwork. It is a physical process supported by
mathematical models described on a paper that we present at this
conference. The technique allows you also “to surf” digitally
inside the work, change angles and get different views of a coral
reef.
