In the work Maritime Impressions, as well as in several other works of yours, stands out an idea of fluidity or movement in counterpoint with the rigidity of the created object. To what extent does this fluidity or movement manage to supplant the characteristics of the object?
Thinking in this specific work, the fluidity / stiffness dichotomy appears in different ways. In relation to the plates, which have a more evident stiffness, this is overcome by the light in them - the ripple of the light reflections, according to our positioning or height of the day, returns, to a certain extent, the fluidity or instability of the element.
In the case of photography, there is always a tension at the moment captured, ripped out of a temporal stream and becomes a static image. I try to solve this tension by the repetition of images, by a dynamic composition in which I display the pieces and where it becomes possible to look at the whole with an idea of temporal development, as if one image affected the next, such as the cadence of the waves.
In general, I try to make the assembly the time to reconstitute this fluidity of the maritime motif, and I try to make that materials, which are inevitably more rigid and static than water, are able to re-create or recover in some way the characteristics of it.
At the epicenter of this work is the idea of action, be it the action of the artist in search of an exteriority of the world, or the action of that other that is the nature with the object. Does nature gain an active role in the creative process, how can the aesthetics of the work be reconciled with the participation of chance and even time?
The idea of action is undoubtedly fundamental, but more than my action, what is important for me is the possibility of a creative process that is open to natural action.
When there is such an opening and the participation of chance is understood as a natural manifestation, the expectation of a final image is exceeded. Even because, when we understand the process, we look at these images as flowing images, points of passage of the waves.
