Ofelio
2023
Ofelio explores the oscillating transformations between digital image creation and pictorial composition. This project presents a series of characters taken from digital images, painted on recycled cardboard cutouts and subsequently submerged in a lake to capture their transformation as they float on the water. The remains of the paintings -damaged after entering the lake- were later used to create a series of collages on canvas, which operate as a reverberation to the very origin of these images, to the tools used for their creation and to the recycled materials for their execution.
