The artwork presented is a striking composition, divided into segments, each depicting intricate patterns reminiscent of ancient engravings or petroglyphs. The dominant elements within these segments are curved and linear engravings that swirl and intersect, creating a tapestry of textures

 

What truly stands out in this work is the artist's command of texture. The engravings are masterfully executed, providing a tactile quality that invites the viewer to engage not just visually but almost physically with the piece. The use of divided panels gives the work a modular feel, suggesting both individuality and interconnectedness. Aditionally, playing with the fluidity of the lines—moving from rigid to more organic, free-form curves—could introduce an intriguing dynamic tension.

 

This artwork effectively merges ancient motifs with modern abstraction, creating a piece that feels timelessly engaging. Continue to explore this unique interplay of texture, color, and form, as it holds immense potential for further captivating compositions. Art is indeed subjective, and your work beautifully embodies personal expression that resonates on multiple sensory levels. Keep pushing the boundaries of these elements, as each piece adds a significant chapter to your evolving narrative.

LÍNEAS PARA EDGAR JAIME (Poema)
Sergio Cordero

Una puerta en el desierto.
Una puerta que abre todas las puertas
y, al hacerlo, multiplica el desierto;
lo abre como un espejo abre otro espejo
y ambos al infinito.

Son puertas de metal, metal brillante
como el de las campanas de otro Edgar
—de plata y de oro y bronce y hierro oscuro—
o como el de esos vasos
de las cocinas de nuestra humilde infancia
—colores solferino, magenta y oro dulce—:
de sólida hojalata.

Y esas puertas son igualmente planchas
de platino o cobalto
que, al sol crepuscular del horizonte,
exponen sus reflejos
para que el sol revele sus relieves:
los surcos, los caminos, los frisos, las estelas
pulsadas por la luz como otras tantas cuerdas
que una lira delira
bajo la indestructible cúpula
que, del añil al índigo,
resguarda la pureza del desierto.

Tú persigues la luz en esas superficies
infinitamente,
como la luz persigue al horizonte
y, aunque tus vastas obras tienen límites,
su contemplación promete ser eterna.

Sé que, en algún refugio en el desierto,
junto a la rectilínea carretera,
tú sigues trabajando,
Paisano, viejo amigo,
no dejes de fraguar tus infinitas puertas,
acompañado de esa fiel jauría
que desafiante ladra
por preservar en el lugar correcto
al paisaje inmutable.

LINES FOR EDGAR JAIME (Poem)

Sergio Cordero

 

A door in the desert.

A door that opens all doors

and, in doing so, multiplies the desert;

opens it like a mirror opens another mirror

and both to infinity.

 

They are metal doors, shiny metal

like the bells of another Edgar

—of silver and gold and bronze and dark iron— 

or like those glasses

from the kitchens of our humble childhood

—solferino, magenta and sweet gold colors—:

of solid tin.

 

And those doors are also iron

platinum or cobalt

that, in the twilight sun of the horizon,

expose their reflections

so that the sun reveals its reliefs:

the furrows, the paths, the friezes, the steles

pulsed by light like so many other strings

that a lyre raves

under the indestructible dome

that, from indigo to indigo,

protects the purity of the desert.

 

You chase the light on those surfaces

infinitely,

how the light chases the horizon

and, although your vast works have limits,

Its contemplation promises to be eternal.

 

I know that, in some refuge in the desert,

next to the straight road,

you keep working,

Countryman, old friend,

do not stop forging your infinite doors,

accompanied by that faithful pack

how defiantly barks

for preserving in the right place

to the immutable landscape.
