La ORLA. individuo 16

Art is that thing which talks in circles to speak of existence. The expression of the inexplicable, precarious at best, steps in (or should) when words fall short, activating a language that speaks of intuition, appealing to the depths of the psyche, to our collective consciousness. In this mode, my work intends to serve as a psychoanalysis from the particular to the general and vice versa, based on my perception as a filter that distills reality and its characteristic ambiguity. In this way my work aims to represent the multiple paradoxes of existence by means of visual metaphors: metaphor, the language of our intuition. It is the subconscious which must receive this message. These images, these representations—visual, in this case—aspire to be vehicles in which to lose oneself in contemplation for a few moments; to meditate and engage in dialogue with ourselves, review our conventionalisms, analyze ourselves as individuals, analyze the contradictions of our nature by detaching ourselves from our "I" and its prejudices; and to gaze toward the horizon of the ideal, toward the edge of the quotidian, into the changing current of the river through which we navigate. Each work thus affirms a small aspect of the human condition, bearing Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph. Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
