2 minutes to midnight - an extravaganza

A Fez

Category: Painting
City, Country: La Granada, Spain
La composición del cuadro se sitúa en la ciudad de Fez, en la plaza Seffarine, que capta un momento del día en que los artesanos caldereros trabajan el cobre para fabricar todo tipo de objetos de uso cotidiano.

La observación de la escena y su representación fotográfica me llevaron a interrogarme sobre diversas cuestiones: si en un futuro podrían convivir el mundo tecnológico y el artesanal, en qué punto se encuentra la humanidad, en su globalidad y cada uno como persona, .... A partir de estas cuestiones y del hecho indiscutible que somos biología y cultura.

Se invita al espectador una reflexión conceptual del mundo en que vive ahora y cuál sería su proyección de futuro.


The composition of the painting is located in the city of Fez, in Seffarine Square, which captures a moment of the day when the coppersmith artisans work copper to make all kinds of objects for daily use.

The observation of the scene and its photographic representation led me to question myself on various questions: if in the future the technological and artisan world could coexist, at what point is humanity, in its entirety and each one as a person, ... From these questions and from the indisputable fact that we are biology and culture.

The viewer is invited to make a conceptual reflection of the world in which he lives now and what his future projection would be.
