Eduardo pla, italo-argentine multifaceted artist has exhibited
his artwork in several individual and group shows in Europe
and in the united states. during his career he has won
several art awards in milan and new york. he lives in
argentina. since 1995 were he was granted individual
shows in local renowned museums and galleries,
such as, the national art Gallery palais de Glace,
recoleta cultural center, borges cultural center
and the national Fine arts museum. Eduardo pla is
a digital artist; he works with paradigmatic images
from religious iconography. these images are
composed in a constructive way, using microtons
giving them the appearance of a chromatic
“pointillism”, this technique allows him to capture
the light intervals of the faces and figures selected
for this theme. through his artwork, the artist is
searching to recover the spiritual bond, once lost
between the human and the divine. the answer
to so many questions about the human condition
could be found through the metaphysics. and these
are Eduardo pla,s beliefs.
according to Jorge Glusberg, “pla’s art is not virtual
because it is there for us to see and observe, it is
both present and consistent. but it is undeniable that
his work conjures virtuosity and can be defined as an
art of the virtual”.
