| Synopsis

This work, part of the author's "Mapa Mundo" series, presents a new occurrence between two overlapping planes, highlighting a figure in the foreground, who assumes the role of protagonist. This figure is progressively coming into harmony with the second plane, which is completely unknown to it, but which, in response, liquefies and assumes new forms, also seeking mutual harmonization.

Here, the creation of the continents is suggested as the result of a gesture of color apposition. On the canvas, a moment of material modeling crystallizes, in which the force of the human figure acts upon the elements and their original concert. The lack of definition of forms is evident, but it already reveals a new order, in close relationship with a foreground, which is that of the artist

and the work of art.
