A visual scenography emerges where line and gesture act as distilled carriers of symbolic intensity, evoking ancient forms while remaining rooted in contemporary abstraction, the Animist Series unfolds as a repertoire of ink-drawn beings that hover between the human, the animal and the vegetal, each one poised in ambiguous action—dancing, warning, offering—drawn with a minimalism that recalls both prehistoric cave marks and modernist reduction, these figures, silent yet expressive, form a nonverbal script when juxtaposed with macro botanical photographs from the Botanical Series, where plant structures mimic or echo the formal rhythms of the drawings, this pairing produces a score of contrasts—organic and synthetic, microscopic and mythical—activated further in performative contexts like Sons-Nús – Catro Nubes, where image and sound cohabit the stage, not as illustration but as co-presence, each figure functions as a scenographic element rather than ornament, establishing a visual dramaturgy in which the image becomes an active agent in the unfolding event, the sparseness of the drawings is not emptiness but charged restraint, where each line bears the memory of gesture, tradition, and invocation, this scenographic minimalism does not seek to explain but to invite attention, offering a terrain where viewers navigate forms that are both distant and intimate, archaic yet strangely present.
