My recent series of drawings, in general sense, are inspired by that part of the Western philosophical legacy that generates the paranoid rationality and the extreme materiality that characterize it. Hence the references those drawings make to the different Greek architectural orders, the cradle of Western culture. Ironically, the series and each of its drawings refers to the non-place and the nonsense that constitutes the theory of linear and ascending sense of the progress as the basis on which sits the inevitable Western voracity and the spirit of predation. Linear and ascending sense That, in addition to be the main cause of hesitations, fears, insecurities and most unsuspected skepticism, has become, ultimately, on a path that fallaciously, leads to no-place and, on a contrary, generates a deep sense of immobility, involution or regression on spiritual order.
