The feminine forms that appear in this painting are based on tradicional black ceramics called "Figurado". The name of the potter was Mestre José Maria, from Ribolhos, Viseu, Portugal. We would like to pay tribute to his work by drawing and enlarging his female figures, through their parallel repetition as Andy Wharhol did.
This painting is performed in a process of painting and erasing, painting and erasing, which takes us back to the palimpsest process.
Erase, paint, erase, paint, with only three pigments: old gold, black and white.
We can also mention the importance of the concept of primitivism as it was understood at the begining of the 20th century, with Picasso, Matisse, , among others.
We feel the fascination with crude forms arising from primordial knowledge, without the virtuosity of academies.
The selection of old gold, white and black reminds us of chromophobia that we have been working with since our researche on the Hispanic-Mouresque lustreware from the region of Manises, Spain, 16th-18th centuries.
Another not less important aspect is the lighting direction on this one, as well as the other works presented. The work changes according to the type of ligh source that affects it. We will have a multitude of representations depending on the light that makes them reappear.
