Statement
These urban geometries are born from traveling through the city of Asuncion, where I recognize its geography through objects or paintings on gates, walls that I come across on the route I use to move routinely, so I fix my eyes on those details that out of so many seeing them they usually go unnoticed, we don't notice it.
I began recording all this with photographs, becoming an archive to reproduce what was seen materially, in due time, in two-dimensional and volumetric paintings, thus rubble, stones, wood, iron, become supports for that painting that warns us, that points out to us.
