Bodega Collection
The depth of an object goes beyond its dimensions.
By drawing shadow over shadow it’s possible to generate a three-dimensional sensation, subtracting light and adding darkness the contrast achieved simulates the effect of one surface flying over another. Where darkness dominates light dramatic and expressive creations are generated.
Bodega collection refers to cellar art or better known as chiaroscuro, a technique of extreme contrast of light and shadow used by Caravaggio, one of the most famous Italian painters of all time. This movement was so important that in its time that multiple schools were founded only to teach this technique, where artist set up their workshops in cellars with small windows which allowed them to practice this particular style.
The term chiaroscuro implies a sharp transition from darkness to light, losing nuances and subtle color transitions, resulting in theatrical figures and textures, like this piece.
