Reading for oneself

In my work there is a sequence of interests about the inner universe of an individual and hidden issues in relation to this and other universes. A few years ago I started to make a series of drawings that represent these universes with people with “things in the head “, from this series emerged Reading for oneself.

In a synoptic way I began this series, which has as its principle to portray an individual back or profile, without revealing his face. The characters that make up this series show the body language of a person contemplating a work of art.

At the same time, these characters turn their backs on us, hiding their faces from the viewer, turning the viewer an observer of the piece, like an echo.

In a way, those who make up this unlimited series will be always anonymous, obtaining in this way the possibility of becoming anyone that the viewer recognizes. At the same time there is the possibility that the character is an insurgent on the point of acting.

The series represents the moment in which a person finds himself in front  the mirror of his baggage, understanding the work before him, is the moment he reads for himself.
