Homage to Rembrandt. Although the painting floods the canvas, the layers happen lightly and do not become aggressive, always leaving a place for emptiness. In the discourse of painting, there is no going back, the brushstroke that is given, stays and is respected. The lines of the figures are mixed with this sort of layers of painting, where everything dialogues with everything, where nothing comes first and everything is intermingling. Kerlegand›s play is fun. It does not seek the right or the form, but tries to navigate naturally and naturally. Nevertheless, eventually the brushstroke generates something that connects with the figure, like a shadow of the face, always with earth, ocher, green, cerulean, white or gray colors. The discourse of painting, with its own language, is so limitless that in each work there can be up to 200 figures, besides the faces. In many of the paintings that form this series, the sphere appears, a recurring element in the whole work of the painter, the sphere is the perfect form, it begins nowhere and ends nowhere; Represents the whole. «It has a certain volume and it is not known if it is solid or empty,» says the author. Nature is present in this series through the fractals and colors. In Kerlegand›s work, painting represents the natural, biology, plants, carbon, life; The face, on the other hand, is the man, the order, the norm ... The man who emerges from nature, and tries to control it, but in the end is absorbed by it again.
