About Interpreting Discomfort Serie de pinturas al óleo

Interpretando la Incomodidad es una serie de pinturas al óleo sobre el espacio personal y la presión social. Las obras muestran manos y ojos en escenas construidas que recrean momentos cotidianos de inquietud. Los gestos de cuidado pueden acercar a las personas, aunque un exceso de atención también puede generar incomodidad. Las pinturas combinan dos técnicas: la pintura indirecta, que construye una base en blanco y negro que luego se vela con color, y la pintura directa, que aplica el color ya mezclado directamente sobre la superficie. La serie está realizada con óleo sobre lienzo y sobre tabla de madera, y se exhibe en galerías como punto de partida para la conversación.
