Description
Arrecifes by Juan Ibarra is a work where a captivating setting unfolds that blends the elegance of blue tones with the intensity of blood red. The color palette consists primarily of a diverse range of blue tones, which have been layered with meticulous precision.
The composition reveals a harmonious interplay between the different shades of blue, from the lightest and ethereal to the darkest and deepest. Each layer adds a unique dimension to the work, creating a sense of depth and movement that draws the eye of the viewer.
In the center of the work, a blood red outline cuts through the blue layers. This red stroke adds an element of visual impact and creates a dramatic contrast to the blue tones. Bold and striking, blood red becomes a focal point that radiates intensity and passion amid the serenity of blues.
The layering technique used in the work adds texture and dimension, allowing colors to interact and blend seamlessly. The contrast between blue tones and blood red adds visual tension that captures attention and creates a complex emotional experience.
Work created with mixed technique on canvas.
Juan Ibarra's first approaches to the world of art originated thanks to the influence of his grandfather. Over time, he had the opportunity to meet painters such as Miquel Barceló, Tamayo, Felguerez and others, which kindled in him a fervent passion for the visual arts. His creative work covers a wide variety of forms of expression, ranging from painting and engraving to art-objects and, even more recently, sculpture, where he uses industrial materials.
The practice of muralism also plays an important role in his artistic career, capturing his works in private institutions. His creations have been exhibited and marketed in different galleries, as well as in houses of culture and in companies dedicated to design and interior design. Collaborations with notable names such as MarqCó, Mariangel Coghlan, Galería Estudio Actual, Casa de Cultura Manuel Altamirano in Tixtla Guerrero, Casa de Cultura del Bosque de Tlalpan in CDMX, Galería de los Cerezos and Galería La Escalera, among others, stand out.

Presentation
The burning sensation conveyed by Juan Ibarra's proposal is comparable to the feeling of seeing cuts and openings in flesh. It is no coincidence that the painter inherits techniques such as frottage and grattage, which give his canvases an aged appearance. In fact, his work is adjacent to the European tradition that encompasses informalism and abstract expressionism. In this way, the artist aims to highlight the worn-out character of painting, as well as the range of textures and reliefs that literally detach from the canvas.
Somehow, his pieces speak of the pictorial disintegration that not only exhausts itself but also gives rise to an exposed process of material healing. Therefore, his creations represent matter in a raw state of cauterization and transformation. This aesthetic of decay is crucial to him as it exacerbates the fragmented nature of the materials he uses to paint. This is because he deliberately resolves his compositions and, to a certain extent, anticipates the ravages of time in the realm of plastic arts.
Hence, his art decomposes color, forms, and spaces, along with their multiple interrelations. It is worth mentioning that the artist works in layers, much like sediments of rock formations, to then intercalate and blend the background with the surface and vice versa on a single plane. Furthermore, his works frequently feature geometric and expressionistic linear structures that enhance the visual effect of corrosion while carrying an immeasurable dramatic charge.
