An aesthetic of impotence

2

Statement
In the last few years, I have built up a body of work that seeks diagno-
sing how the evolution of new technologies has brought changes in many
fronts: the hierarchy of images, the development of artistic practices,
the figure of the artist, the exercise of appropriation, the role of ins-
titutions and the banalization of world conflicts through the saturation
of informative content, etc.

To support these ideas I focused on the work of different authors like

Fontcuberta, Hito Steyerl or Juan Martin Prada. They talk about the
changes in the way we perceive reality, brought upon by our interaction
with this technology.

I try to draw a proposal that shows the pathological consequences of

producing a pictorial work, while always keeping in mind web archiving
and image consumption through electronic devices.

What is sought here is the construction of a work methodology, just as
Tuymans and Sasnal did before the post-photographic era. In their case,
they developed a sensitivity that had to do with their interaction with
photography. In my case, I am trying to find a way to achieve autonomy
in front of the image, through an understanding of the interface that
allows us to access that web file, in a world of screens and data that
overlap each other.

Ideas such as the electronic device as a window are thus established in

the work, connecting this with the traditional use of the painting wi-
thin the painting as a narrative instrument. Or other concepts, like the
arbitrariness in the search of images, a description of the web system.
The project is enriched through the construction of an imaginary of this
era of the electronic device.

Biography
Born in Mallorca in 1997, he began to be interested in the art world from
an early age. At the age of fifteen he began his artistic studies at the
workshop of the Catalan painter Pep Suari. At seventeen he was awarded in
the 6th call of DKV Fresh Art. In 2015 he participated in the exhibition of
young artists of the Dinamo group in the Krekovic museum. That same year he
finished the artistic baccalaureate at the IES Llompart Institute and began
his degree in Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. His ac-
tivity is remarkable during his last year in college (2018-2019) when he
participated in several exhibition projects. He recieved an Erasmus scho-
larship to study in Venice, where I developed various pictorial, audiovi-
sual and other projects close to the world of performance.
