To paint is to experiment and to make continuously \u2013 it helps us to know ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Between my second artist\u2019s residency in Shanghai (2019) and my participation, for the first time, in the art symposium of Wels, Austria (2021) I had a period of reflection which caused me to reframe my painting practice and the research I had been undertaking. From then on, my work has centred more on the process of painting itself, rather than the pursuit of \u2018finished paintings\u2019. \u2018He who is obsessed with the summit, misses the mountain\u2019 was something I read on social media \u2013 it became yet another indicator for me; a turning point.<\/p>\n<p>If we concentrate on the painting process itself, we recognise many elements that constitute painting: priming, choosing a support and a palette, the bits that get thrown away, and the bits that remain. The deliberate search for a colour palette in a series like <em>Looking for Goya<\/em>, and the boards, plastic and pieces of cardboard I used for its creation, now appear like paintings. The palette is an incessant accumulation of colour-mixing and exploration, but it also encapsulates the duration that a painting, or series of paintings, needs to emerge. Heraclitus affirms that change is the only constant in life. Everything is transformed in a process of continual birth and destruction from which nothing can escape. On the palette, we see the traces of the same process. In this sense, my most recent paintings are repositories of experiences and searches for small revelations through the mixing of pigments. They leave you feeling fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>I do not want to appear like Frenhofer, the protagonist of Balzac\u2019s novella <em>The Unknown Masterpiece<\/em>, in his deranged pursuit of the utopian ideal of the perfect work. I identify significantly more with the words of Bukowski, on describing Vallejo: \u2018we are all tired of most art. Vallejo writes as a man and not as an artist\u2019. Similarly, I would like to paint like a \u2018man\u2019 and not as an artist.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_columns=&#8221;true&#8221; el_class=&#8221;rowObras&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1553638964983{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][mk_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/juanolivares.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wp-i.jpg&#8221;
