About the Shibui Series:

“As a human being living in the 21st Century I see technology as both a blessing and a curse. The daily psychological dependency on technology does create constant stress in our lives. Smart phones, social media and our immediate gratification mindset are leading us to a lonely and unsatisfied mental state where more and faster is expected by everyone at all times. I do believe that one way to counteract this learned excellence at technical multi-tasking is to slow down and search for simplicity based on the Japanese concept of Shibui, where elements and daily experiences are appreciated by their own virtues. It is a sophisticated minimalism devoid of the unnecessary.

Based on Shibui, I create mixed media paintings and prints that are simplified to very basic visual elements aiming to stimulate the limbic brain – the part that has no capacity for language but, instead, controls emotions and behavior.

As a Latino artist born in Europe and living in the United States, my work is influenced by a cultural appreciation (as opposed to cultural appropriation) that brings together international ideas, philosophies and traditions. Therefore, along with embracing Japanese Shibui, my creative research is also inspired by global food preparation.

Inspired by the plating practices of the culinary arts, my aim is to develop a visual molecular gastronomy for painting. Some of the art materials used in my Shibui series are dried food ingredients like rice and coffee beans, as well as inks made from culinary ingredients as turmeric, blueberries, and matcha green tea.”
