Fernando Vera : Harmonious Grouping 2002
Digital & Mixed media. Fernando Vera, Distrito Federal, Mexico City. Español text - aqui
My paintings and images are a form of involuntary
expression of the subconscious mind and therefore a great artistic career is
not necessary to give shape to my thoughts. My experience with art began when visualizing a painting of
Salvador Dali the painter by whom I have been
greatly influenced.I began
experimenting with watercolor and later with acrylic painting, shaping images
of solitude and spiritual deterioration that reflected my emotional state. After transcending that stage, I began to look for new ways of expression
and by chance I got a job as agraphic designer, which allowed me the opportunity to combine "traditional art" with the
new computer graphic technologies (2 no. Ironico Desert), without losing the style that I was accustomed to, I
later worked toward combining symbols that gave a visual shock or incongruency
(Revolucion and black doesn't exist). At this point I look for a harmony between the real or
natural object and a sence of irony, although I do not leave to a side the
brush yel small horse. Massurrealism is for me the harmony of grouping and a
critique of that which occurs in our audio-visual life. On the contrary, globophiles are their own worse enemy,
ABSORBED IN CONSUMPTION, but the brand of tennis shoes that they wear, the designer clothes, the
way they communicate;Internet,
cellphones, it is clear that we cannot avoid to allude to Capitalism and globalization, it is
part of our techno-sociological development as human beings.
