Sweat Dreams

The initial idea of this series of paintings was to reproduce the white traces left by human sweat on dark cloths when, for example, one makes sports or dance during hours. Painting, here, is conceptually and literally referring to a physical effort or labour; painting as work. With this technique the various visual references to art history amalgamate with improbable other references forming a mix of different languages uniformed aesthetically within one body of work. Like these non-perennial traces of salt on canvas, all the images have one thing in common: their potential disappearance.
