Las cosas que ayer no estaban

(The things that were not there yesterday)

This work was developed during the Vertical Crypto Art Residency 5th Cohort (January-to-March 2023), and part of end exhibition.

About the work:

It all started as a study on textures, and how they can evoke sensations or their memories. The textures are transformed, and they take on entity, volume, and claim their own story.

But what is important is how every process with the artistic materiality takes us to unexpected places. To places that were not there yesterday, that were not there a moment ago.

“Las cosas que ayer no estaban” is a way of talking about time, yesterday sometimes evokes nostalgia, but also memories. Yesterday there were things that are no longer there today, but leave room for new things, new sensations.

The evocation of memories of the senses is something that I am interested in as a trigger for each work. Also, the inclusion of time and how this affects and mutates those sensations.
