Title: Remendamos la Historia 3 (We Mend the Story 3)
Medium: Original Art Mixed Media on Black Paper (Ink, Pencil, Thread)
Year: 2019
Creativity represented by the yellow thread, is something we're all born with. The story guides us. Then we decide whether to use it in life or let it fade away. But in the end, we can mend the story.

The piece is not for sale at this time; it is part of our family's private collection.
"Healing Maps" is the name of a series of artworks that I can describe as a work of connection between something I feel flowing through me. I am the vessel, the channel through which that idea is transmitted. The process of creating these pieces is a spontaneous ritual of balance. I work within a circle as a symbol of wholeness and infinity. Then, I seek to break the order within the circle without using conventional patterns or techniques. I simply flow with the shapes and/or textures as I feel and distance myself from the ego. I let the piece itself guide me. It is rather a work that reflects the natural movement between silence, coherence, and chaos.
Sometimes I use only neutral colors, other times bright colors, and I can add materials that inspire me and are available at the moment. But always following that inner impulse. Afterwards, like any other viewer, I step back from the piece to observe the result and create my own story.
