- Rationale
- “The Magic Mountain” belongs to the ¨ROME” series. Its title refers to Mann's novel of the same name, a long journey where time, life, and its reverse are essential. Whoever settles on the magic mountain enters a universe with its own rules, where hardly anything happens, but at the same time nothing matters if it occurs outside its limits. The mountain traps you, you become part of it, you can't get down. I've always liked paintings where time is frozen and that at the same time allow you to travel to the past and the future, a form of continuous present. All within a few painted centimeters. “What dreams are made of”, is the mythical phrase Humphrey Bogart utters when asked what the Maltese Falcon is made of. Marble, extracted centuries ago from the quarry where it was part of a landscape and that man transformed into statues, becomes landscape again. From statues of imperial Rome, I build this monolithic landscape.

Artist
Paco Díaz
Paco Díaz is a figurative artist who connects past, present, and future through his artistic proposal and formally appropriates aesthetic resources from a variety of styles different from classical figuration. His genius lies particularly in his theoretical proposal by reimagining historical memory (cemeteries, Roman sculptures) as symbolic landscapes, and in using fiction (science fiction, architectural utopias) to reflect on our human condition and yearning for transcendence. Paco Díaz's enigmatic works reflect the influence of cinema and architecture on his production. Both his urban landscapes and his still lifes share an aesthetic of iridescent, cool, and clean colors; these convey sensations of melancholy and frustration while he plays with irony and pop aesthetics to immerse us in a surreal imaginary. Through meticulous post-production, Díaz manages - with a dark elegance - to make us reflect on our quest for transcendence in this life by using cemetery scenes and religious iconography, playing with a pop and ironic imaginary.
