The world in effervescence

Abstract

This work, which has an abstract tendency, is conceived as an attempt to capture the dizziness in which the present occurs and  the world changes.

I stop and reflect that in the face of the pandemic, citizens of the city have never been immersed in the same and complex circumstance, in the same compulsory “fashion”, that of having to confine ourselves and wear a garment over the mouth and nose not to put yourself at risk, or risk the health of others, among other vast precautions.

Then one of the illusory sensations that I want to represent more strongly in this painting comes to my mind and flows, and that is precisely "vertigo", that internal agitation that causes the state of uncertainty; that moment when we suddenly perceive that the external is rotating and moving around us in space while the oscillation and instability of the present occurs. Thus, from the collective imagination, a city located at any latitude in the world appears in the lower angle of the painting, experiencing that instant of effervescence that comes with everything that moves and that seeks to return to its balance.

In that order, with circles, sinuous lines and the use of primary colors, I also let the work surprise me while I do it from what some call “the controlled accident”. It is then that I try to represent above that blue city and through a kind of fog, smoke or some kind of "quintessence", the unexpected consequences that are unleashed by the intense activity behind the accelerated rhythm that we as humanity carried on the planet, but now is seeking to find its place in an atmosphere no longer chaotic, but a loophole to be able to dissipate. The hope that we will find a haven in the aftermath unleashed by a virus that we are still dealing with as a single species.
