Fernández blends successfully a delicate chromatic utilization with the use of the relief and the textures so as to offer the viewer an attractive, positive and often times tridimensional visual experience. His talent lies precisely in reinventing himself and always aiming to push the limits without falling in excesses, keeping an almost spiritual harmony. A visual experience full of messages and symbols that reach beyond the color.

…through her environmental lighting projects as in her drawings, she alters the sensory experience of the viewer and at the same time, prompting him/her to wonder about the construction of his/her own perceptual process. …the drawings titled “Gradient” can be seen as time encrypted in color. The palette of these works is organized based on the tension produced by chromatic relations, manifesting the unstable parameters of the eye.

The pink volcanic triangles of Esvin Alarcón Lam take the history of this powerful symbol into an exciting new and allegoric territory, constructing implicit over-meanings of the graphics of the collective Silence=Death and, aligning the strength and power that comes with the re-positioning of historically destructive symbols, with one of the most distinctive geological characteristic of Guatemala.

…unconnected images that are mixed behind closed eyes… …using the metaphor to explore the structure of the unconscious. The maps… …intend to trace that undecipherable space with numbers and arrows. …the schemes and notes seem to refer to a real geography… …the Rorschach inkblots… …refer to common interpretations. …the lip shapes allude to the diagnosis of how the subjects weave the physical harm and the sexual stimuli. The mix of morphologies suggests the psychoanalytic concept of condensation, of an image of memory that transfers its load to another idea.

Made in Germany is a re-interpretation of a Chakana, a figure of Andean origin representing a bridge or a staircase. It harmoniously personalizes the relation between short and tall, the earth and the sun, between the human beings and the higher beings… This robust figure, of ancestral and sacred origins, is partially drawn and, it becomes ephemeral as it simultaneously dissolves itself on the wall.
