From the series “In the absence of God”, oil
and pencil on paper, 28 x 40 cm.
ORIGINAL ARTWORK SOLD.
The medieval
illustrators represented animals that they had never seen, described by others,
or derived from mythology. This generated monstrous creatures. From here comes
the idea of a common set of animals, which are deformed with the help of
redundant decorative codes.
These artworks
are made on paper overlaying subsequent layers of oil painting and pencil
drawing (I often use graphite not only to emphasize the traits but as a colour
itself, to fill and darken entire areas of the drawing).
