The composition challenges conventional interpretation and reconstructs reality as a paradoxical symbolic system.
Construction of a Human History
Part of the Logic-Constructivism series this work is a conceptual constructivist composition reflecting the symbolic accumulation of civilizations, memory systems and collective cultural narratives embedded within human historical evolution.
Midnight Sun in Aquarius
Part of the My Memories series, this work is a symbolic tribute to the legendary Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. The composition reinterprets the iconic silhouette of Casa Pueblo in Punta Ballena under a luminous nocturnal sky, crowned by the Aquarius Sun inspired by Páez Vilaró’s celebrated zodiac solar series. Midnight Sun in Aquarius merges memory, homage and metaphysical atmosphere into a dreamlike vision of the Uruguayan coast.
