Alejandro Faura - Gravedad

The work “ Gravedad ” is an original piece by the artist Alejandro Faura, belonging to the series “ Donde nada el silencio “, the painting articulates a poetic tension between the physical and the emotional through the figure of a contemplative boy, whose elevated gaze seems to withdraw from the weight of the world while around him red fish float in an indeterminate space, with neither water nor ground, thus deactivating the traditional notion of gravity to transform it into a metaphor of the internal: thoughts, memories or suspended vital pulses; the composition places the boy in the right third, in balance with a diagonal flow of fish that dinamizes the scene and creates a contrast between stillness and movement, reinforced by the presence of a fish in the foreground that provides depth, while chromatically the work is built on a background of veiled whites, grays and pinkish or purplish nuances applied with loose and transparent brushstrokes, in opposition to the material intensity and saturation of the reds, which concentrate the visual and emotional energy; the light, diffuse and without an explicit source, falls more clearly on the face, where the brushwork becomes more contained and modeled, consolidating the expressive focus, and the space, stripped of references, opens as a silent atmosphere that does not represent a place but a state, making the work an unstable balance between presence and suspension, where the pictorial matter subtly accompanies an image charged with intimacy, in which silence is not absence but an active field where everything, even gravity, seems to come to a halt.
