To define what art is to me, I have to incorporate into my work area the
figure of the invisible, non-human witness, who receives information
through multiple channels. That retains it to be processed by a brain that
promotes creativity, novelty, surprise, imagination and gives freshness
to the art world. And, above all, that it gives freedom to material and
immaterial elements, so that they participate on equal terms as if they
were people. Materials and mathematical or physical expressions,
among others, that participates in functions and feelings typical of
human relationships. Hence, a conceptual balance is established
between non-human elements; the strong and the weak, equality,
empathy, or reassignment of roles. Weak or brittle materials come to
occupy the characteristics and functions of strong materials. All this
explanation is present in the textual content of the Philosophy and the
Concepts of Rivismo. My works, too, show a balance between the basic
elements such as; the composition, textures, colors, etc. and above all,
with the creation of an energetic current that circulates throughout the
stage, between the material, immaterial and human elements, which is
projected outwards, enveloping itself with the energy of the observer.
