Lateral Vision (olive green and light blue)

Lateral Visions
This series of works come from one experience that regards my mother’s illness. It is called macular degeneration. Those who suffer from it progressively lose their central vision and all that remains is their lateral vision. You cannot see what is in front of you, but you can perceive what is beside you, from the corner of your eye. These paintings convey this type of awareness of reality that derive from the perception of space through the body’s movement. In “Lateral Visions” the horizon, the strip that is in the upper part of my “Sedimentations” and that maintains a trace of all the layers that make the painting, is turned vertically and the canvas is cut in half. The stratifications of colour, in other words the trace of my painting, occur on two lateral levels. The two parts never meet; they try to get closer but are always separate.
