Bailarinas, 2025

This painting has a vibrant energy and a texture that invites you to touch it. The use of pleated cardboard as a support not only provides visual depth but also introduces a three-dimensional dimension: the ridges of the cardboard interact with the paint, creating shadows and rhythms that change depending on the light.
The palette of black, yellow, and blue is applied with free, almost impulsive gestures, suggesting movement and emotion. The yellow and blue could be playing with the contrast between warm and cold, while the black provides structure and contour. There is a figure that vaguely resembles a cartoon character, but is abstracted enough to leave room for interpretation.
This type of work can be read as a reflection on the everyday transformed into art. Cardboard, a humble and disposable material, becomes the protagonist here. The spontaneous and expressive painterly gesture seems to want to break with the rigidity of the support, as if the painting were reclaiming its space.
It could be a subtle critique of consumerism and pop culture, or simply a playful exploration of form and texture. The fact that the figure is not entirely recognizable invites the viewer to complete the meaning, which creates a more participatory experience.
