• “360” is a graphic work developed in digital support, worked and formed by 360 units.
  • Initially, I thought of several ways of drawings, of models I was interested in exploring. From each of these models I developed corresponding variations. The rhythm is both affirmation and permanent denial. All the operations applied to the variety of lines, forms and colours are: expending, bending, turning, contracting, rotating, overlaying, adding and detracting.
  • Each drawing represents itself as an object of itself, in each case establishing internal codes of relative and transitory character independent of the whole work. Simultaneously, the development of the units shapes the work as a whole.
  • “360” also contains the potentiality of forming autonomous works that lead to engraving, painting or three-dimensional works. In this perspective the digital drawings also refer to a space-temporal state that precedes a plastic work of art.
  • The realization of the work has to be read in a circular way. There is neither a stable beginning nor an end. It does not set priorities and does not determine some kind of internal hierarchy. Repeatedly it suggests multi-directional readings. There is a certain relationship of asymmetric parts in space.
  •  The assembly has a random character and allows an exhibition of the units as a whole or can be fitted in the architectural space.
  •  After the completion of the project “360” I continued working on the drawings. I partially replaced the existing works by new ones so that this finished project can be considered to be a work of art in permanent change.
