PRIMITVE IMPULSES

Jorge Manilla

This body of works are representations of a unique emotional depth experienced in recent years. They focus on feeling and confronting vulnerability and melancholy, often circulating and questioning aspects between vitality and death, aesthetics and deformation, figuration, and abstraction. My pieces are a testimony of visible and perceptible transformation processes in human life. For this series I decided to explore aspects of materiality and surfaces in relation to emotional aspects. The palette ranges from the structures that form foreign bodies, through their fragmentation, to corporality fully formed by a hardly understood materiality. In the process, themes such as love, pain, sexuality, and emotional strength become focus elements for the construction of the pieces.
