HUMORESQUES

As an Artist, to explore the history of the development of painting is to discover the richness of our cultural heritage, and, on that journey, it is inevitable to encounter the rupture that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century, between the then dominant Realism and the now called Historical Vanguards, which generated an intellectual and visual abyss between them. And it was precisely that schism, that motivated a syncretistic attitude in developing this series of works. In them, the objective is the interaction of opposites, combining realism and avant-garde, artistic, scientific, and social concepts with a whimsical and profound character, free from old and new rules. That’s why I call them “Humoresques”, because I share the definition of humor as the playfulness of judging things, not as satire or mockery but, as a creative exercise, guided by what I call: grounded spontaneity.
