Trama de Pliegues (A Weave of Folds) moves through different subjects in a progression that draws the eye towards the abstract dimension of what is represented. Paper becomes the body of drawing: through its sculptural qualities, the image emerges from the material itself. The title brings the physical weave of folds into relation with a fragmented, partly concealed plot. Traces of lives, intimations of destiny and images of death find a correspondence in a surface that reveals and obscures, where narrative and matter continually reshape one another.

In Paper Portraits, the ages of a lifetime seem to coexist within a single face; in Quiromancia, an elderly woman’s palm bears traces of the past and intimations of an uncertain destiny. Mirlo (falling) and Carroñera depict a fallen bird and an apparently taxidermied one. Their “contemplative dissection” evokes the funerary dimension latent in representation: as memento mori, these images preserve a presence subject to absence. In Zoom, the inquiry extends into material abstraction, where marks and relief become events in their own right. In the “drawings of shadows”, the means are pared back almost entirely to folded paper and light.

Scale, illumination, viewing distance and perspective alter perception. A figure recognisable from afar resolves, at close range, into charcoal deposits and ridges, while pigment can become indistinguishable from cast shadow. Gesture, gravity and chance also shape how the image takes form. Together, these works manifest a desire to reflect the visible world and its uncertainty.
