Drawing is Channeling

The proposal emerges from the convergence of two paths. One relates to the return to an axis that I’ve been orbiting for many years now, a series of characters I call the Alchemists. And more than a return, it is the recognition of a continuity and interconnectedness of their presence during different moments of my journey.

The other path concerns my growing interest in shaping and attempting to hint at what happens within the dimension of inner stillness, on a plane that acknowledges the information-energy that traverses us and that we can perceive, taking us beyond the primary senses through which we map the coordinates of the reality we live. Imagining myself, for instance, in conversations with Hilma af Klint or Emma Kunz, and using a tool to channel information—the Akashic Records—I revisit and nurture the encounter of what I call the vertical and horizontal planes of experience.

They, the Alchemists, are the beings to whom I attribute the quality of being a bridge between the worlds we see and those we don’t. They were astronomers, magicians, shamans, herbalists, mystics, sibyls, visionaries, witches, channels, priestesses. For the more recent drawings in this proposal, around those beings, I include references not only to symbols from different eras and traditions, small scenes that describe events of a ritual and ceremonial nature, marking moments and qualities of connection to the sacred, but also to schemes and abstractions that reflect a different type of sensitivity and ordering.

Thus, they are allusions to contents that transcend time and geography, essential aspects of the human experience as they cross our deep and silent oceans. They are the different frequencies that uphold the myth-image of what we are and what surrounds us, flowing simultaneously between the micro and the macro, the inner and the outer, the explainable and the inexplicable, the conscious and the unconscious. For this reason, I consider the drawings not as an archaeological compendium or a set of gestures scattered along the chronological linearity of time, but rather as a transversal collection of experiences and information that dwell in the profound field of the eternally present.

It has been through them, and through the constant revision of those same old questions, that along my path I’ve aimed at the void, the elusive, the interdependence between all things, the spiral cycles of time, the field of traces and information that impregnates the total dimension of our being, but above all, that great mystery which, to some extent, I have glimpsed with an expanded and curious gaze in the exercise of self-knowledge, while I draw, while I channel, while I let life itself pass through me.
