The proposal reproduces some of the images important to me as metaphor in times of crisis. In a generational and architectural sense, the symbols resume feelings and spatialities drawings and painted on linen, the images of the bubble, staircase, line and environment make up a dreamlike landscape, based on the proposal of Artaviso Garden of Loss and Triumph.
From the core is the bubble, such as a casing or glass dome, the bubble bring the mental construct of wrap, that assures us a certain distance from the environment. In the inner bubble space is a staircase leads down to the invisible space. In outside area, the landscape composed by the tree and the wooden platform builds a sense of ambience. The scenery and the sense of contemplation of nature are importants feelings desired in a garden.
The movement of the first transparent element is propelled and involved by the gold line, aerial, entangled in a continuous spiral.
In a game of symbolism and sensations, the painting emerges with the sense of continuity, whose bubble allows gestate and protect, in dimensional passages between planes and spaces.
