Green Ball | Miguel Ángel Cardenal

We are faced with a continuous bombardment of images, we select and discard what we want to see quickly and precisely, but to what extent are we aware that what we select is by our own choice? Beyond the particular perception of the artistic object, there is a global link, a universal language that is part of the reading of these images or objects. I seek and find in color, form, and representation, a game in which I try to present the similarities that connect us and make us part of a collective that has been educated to understand images in a specific way. In this series, the visual information is reduced, so that reasoning or interpretation is not needed; what I try to do is establish a quick and guided reading, being the first contact with the image unconsciously. It is during the reading of the works that a confrontation arises that leads us beyond what the image initially offers and gives us a pause to stop and contemplate and rethink its meaning. The use of trompe-l'oeil, the truthful representation of objects and space, the projection of forms in space, reading from left to right, from top to bottom, the appearance of a game, color, or geometric shapes help me to build a set of works in which to question the veracity of images in a visual and plastic game. In the series, the colors red, yellow, green, and blue are responsible for recreating a set of objects that evoke children's games, filled with simple shapes, the triangle, the square, and the circle with which I work a visual narrative that aims to invite the viewer to enter that game and which, in turn, questions to what extent visual information is real.
