¿Meaning, you don¿t search for it, you don¿t find it, you create it¿
Graphic works (Montevideo, Uruguay, 2002-2004) ¿ There is an encounter between a geometrical-constructed and an informal language. While one of them refers us to a symbolic dimension, to the investigation of the relationship between the human world and the cyclic-natural world, the other one keeps an implicit constant of my development.
Traces of the expression of the German School of the 80s are found together with elements of a constructive tradition of a new place for work. In an attempt to connect our intellect with our intuitive basis, the concept of visual communication in my works has changed its meaning; here they define their reality together with spectators propositions. Thus, we reach the ¿Einbildungskraft¿ (power of the imagination), our own creativity; there appear new relations and new possibilities to see. (M.B).
