Graphite on paper mounted on wood.
These drawings have an expressive force, whose common thread is the dark palette and frenetic gestures. It takes it so far that it makes us doubt whether what we have before our eyes are drawings or not. They are, if we look at their technique (graphite on paper), but both their dimensions and the medium (wooden boards are papered), clearly deny the intimate and collected image that we could have of the drawing. In these tangles of lines, some of them shoot out in infinite directions, as if crossing out what is hidden under that tangle of lines. The engravings are of a smaller format. They are unique pieces in a new act of negation, in this case of the very seriality of the technique (their treatment is drawing, but with single copy printing plates). These engravings work like a network, a pentagram in which resounding musical notes are anchored.
