The Temple of Doom, from the Arka series,
2023, acrylic on canvas and wood,
28 x 36 cm (11 x 14.2 in)
Arka is a work in which painting, sculpture and textile converge. I start from simple forms that I reinterpret, order and configure by assembling, adding or subtracting, as well as geometry and color to create new compositions, as a propositional metaphor about other ways of thinking about the past through the symbolic.
Arka presents a micro-universe in which a series of stereotypical theatrical characters move through different scenarios telling a story without a linear narrative.
