One Last Birthday / Un último cumpleaños
I merge innocence with the inhospitable and fragility with the unexpected, evoking the sensation of a surveilled world where truth dissolves in the shadows of power. Childlike objects, emblems of purity and freedom, emerge in anachronistic settings: a fair suspended in time, a room in ruins, a desolate landscape where every detail resonates like the echo of a hidden memory. Like regimes that rewrite history and erase individuality, each object, displaced from its context, stands as a subtle cry challenging conformity and absolute power.
Between nostalgia and estrangement, painting becomes a bridge to deep reflection: the struggle between memory and oblivion, between the spirit’s inherent freedom and the reign of surveillance. My work invites the viewer into a silent dialogue, reminding them that even under the oppression of a totalizing system, the seed of innocence and imagination can bloom as an act of subversion.
