We are stimulated by millions of images all the time: television, photos, videos, social networks, works of art...
With this, creating the imaginary representation of something is a way of guiding the viewer's attention towards the approach of a certain topic, inviting a visual and sensory experience.
For the Brazilian artist Luiz Escañuela, during the process of maximization and minimization "the information contained in the initial matter, in the reference, is given new meaning and power within the painting."
His works explore the intercession between the human body and nature, while proposing social, identity, territorial and historical questions.
In some of his works, Escañuela redefines the scale of both the human skin and the map of a river, in this case presenting these elements in a scale relationship inversely proportional to the real one.
The purpose of his works is accompanied by meticulous design and a creative process that can be considered more mental than impulsive.
