Seventh work from my collection NEO.BRUTALISM, where I carry out an act of abstraction of architectural elements and compare them to sculptural pieces. The object of representation is brutalist architecture, iconic and recognisable as a symbol of the utopian thinking that generated it.
But with my way of creating images I transform symbols into isolated forms in space. Form gains prominence over meaning. Contrast between straight and curved lines is emphasized over the final overall image, without the outlines of the buildings appearing in their entirety. The play of light and shadow and chiaroscuro tonalities enhance the volumetric or formal qualities over the utilitarian ones. The serial composition, the mechanical rhythm, as well as the unexpected points of view create a sense of alienation, perhaps even a kind of oniric distortion, "at the tipping point between dream and nightmare".
