FLECHOSO

I studied Philosophy and Fine Arts, but then chose to explore my own creative path outside academia.I am a figurative painting following the venetian tradition (Titian, Velázquez...) in which I implement contemporary aesthe-tics. My practise consists of painting pic-tures conceived as magic objects for inner transformation to remind us of our divine nature. I use painting because this material can be fulfilled with energy to create a trascen-dent aesthetic experience. I use symbols to awaken and develop spiri-tual power in the individual, taking religious or mythological themes and changing the traditional meaning into a metaphor to ac-tivate the inner transformation. There is an evolution from my first black paintings (Ofrenda series) to my recent works (33), in which I use gold, bright and vibrant colors.My current artistic project, 33, consists of 33 2x2m pictures of religous scenes to ex-plore inner transformation and divine na-ture.At the same time, I compose poetry, essa-ys and music.
