An everyday situation, from our memory, from the memory of childhood in a non-place, that is to say, an enigmatic ephemeral place, a space that is delimited and that grows, that multiplies throughout the world; They are linked to anonymity and independence because they apparently do not exist or mean anything, at least to those people who visit them provisionally; However, using objects that demarcate an unreal space, which is part of fantasy and often goes unnoticed, neither places nor non-places always exist in pure form, they are steps of the same ladder, parallel lines that magically reach intersect, they are opponents who attract and penetrate each other. The pattern plays the role of endlessly rewriting the intricate game of identity and relationship, the mix of cultures, and the rush of its visitors learning to walk and getting out of the gravitational well.
This artwork presents a compelling blend of realism and vintage aesthetics. Dominating the scene are two individuals, their expressions captured in a striking monochrome palette, lending an air of mystery. The figures are superimposed on a background resembling aged paper, enhancing the retro vibe. Central to the composition is an intriguing juxtaposition: a classical book cover featuring "Quinquina" and botanical illustrations, which adds depth and narrative interest. The grid-like structure resembling wooden blinds frames the artwork, suggesting a sense of hidden stories waiting to be discovered. The piece’s textured appearance invites closer inspection, emphasizing its tactile quality. This artwork skillfully combines elements of nostalgia and narrative, inviting viewers to ponder the intersection of past and present storytelling.

Starting from a reflection on the relationships between past and present, the work of the artist Ivan Castiblanco functions as an archaeological find, where floors and toys reconstruct a material legacy in history and remain in time, like the ornate tiles that were erected in the city of Bogotá of yesteryear. Castiblanco's work directly transmits news and sensations that come from the past to individuals, giving the viewer the ability to remember, in the face of awareness of the loss of cultural heritage. continuity.
The artist has a master's degree in plastic and visual arts from the Academia Superior de Artes de Bogotá (ASAB)
