The silence of origins
He offers metaphorical questionings of the relationship between man and nature. His imagery draws upon the untethered, ethereal power of the more-than-human realm, depicting forests with no boundaries, rather nature conjures its own delineations, through mists that form and disperse. These floating meditations are underpinned by a mathematical precision.
The artist draws upon his previous profession as an agronomist engineer, questioning the highly rational superimposition of power and itsorganising principles – structures, grids, boundaries – on the land. These are reflections on a rupture between an imagined totality which we once belonged to, and our current atomised, individualistic mode of living. Tintoré explores how artifice is imposed in order to claim territoriality, while intimate grids remind us of the earth’s natural cartography.
He has commented that ‘ambiguity and a certain sustained tension are necessary characteristics in a work of art. Images should resist being immediately legible.’
By colliding two modes of apprehension, the mathematical and the ethereal, Tintoré’s artistic practice asks the viewer to
consider how we are persuaded to corral ‘nature’ into a series of concepts and ideas. He presents us with the chimera of the utopia of a second chance in the face of an uncertain future
