El Aumento - The Expand
sustainable art
project
In 2016 I started working on this
upcycle art project, which originated from my conviction that the figurative
paintings I had made in the past did not have the right form and shape anymore.
I felt the need to reinvent myself and work in an new way. I made the
courageous decision to start cutting up my oil paintings and re-use/ upcycle
the pieces. I decided to stop doing what the public expected from me, and
become the artist that I wanted to be. So I destroyed my oil paintings and I
reused them to create a new art series. I transformed my figurative art into
abstract art, where all the symbols are repositioned and yet remain recognizable.
My creative process continued even when my oil paintings had been completed -
an old idea transformed into contemporary art.
I took the symbols and colours from my old paintings, and transformed them into abstract art.
