• E.L. Emotional Landscapes: Emotional Landscapes. In this series I propose an even greater formal and representational reduction with respect to my previous series of Coded Paintings. It is a step towards a dematerialisation of the work. This Image that we unconsciously re-present configures a series of sensations pre-established by our visual memory. The interesting thing about this is that the spectator himself who contemplates the object is configuring his own representative image of a landscape that is only in his subconscious. This gestalt game is deliberately provoked in order to question how the semiology of a visual language conditioned by our own limits of representation, often arbitrarily articulated, is constructed. It is a reflection on the ambiguous and indeterminate structure of languages to communicate human thought. A painting that goes beyond its formal limits to expand and dilute itself in its environment and the architecture that surrounds it. The ontological reason for these paintings, called "Nuclei of Emotion" or E.L (Emotional Landscapes), is determined by colour and light, which are the essence of sensory communication and emotional transmission beyond any rational explanation. These objects are framed within the Zen aesthetic, inspired by the hexagrams of the I Ching or Book of Mutations, and are a reference to the Taoist universe and Eastern thought and culture.
