OPENING 23 APRIL AT ISABEL CROXATTO GALERIA, SANTIAGO
About “Mirar desde Frente”
The title of the exhibition refers to two fundamental aspects of my practice. First, it speaks to my physical approach when painting: I always work facing the canvas, with my arm at a 90-degree angle to my body, keeping my gaze fixed on the surface I'm working on. Second, it relates to constructing the images, where the depicted bodies, objects, and elements are also seen frontally. This frontal view eliminates diagonals and vanishing points, which is essential to my work, as it situates painting within a Cézannian logic—referencing Paul Cézanne—where space is not built through depth, but through surface.
These two decisions—the bodily posture in front of the canvas and the visual frontal view of the image—create a shared experience between artist and viewer, following a logic similar to that of a scanner: the front as the meeting point between making and looking.
