Through the analysis from a theoretical perspective, I visually define the abstract, clear and rigid notions of mathematics and their applicability in flat forms through new thinking mechanisms that precede the artistic process.
Using proportions and quantities, symmetry and alternation and abstract notions underlying geometry (such as the point, the line, the plane), I develop structures that ultimately prove to be independent, unitary and structurally compact elements, but closely related to the principles initially applied in their composition.
By marking all the elements resulting from a certain basic structure, dialogues appear between the initial structure and the elements that compose it. And the figures make possible a quantitative and proportional translation of the resulting unitary element.
