Naturaleza Viva by Juan Ibarra is a work that is presented as an evocative representation of an ancient god of nature sculpted in stone, with a color palette dominated by green and blue tones. The figure emerges with a mystical aura, seeming to be formed from the same natural elements that it represents.
Green and blue tones intertwine in the figure, creating a sense of union between the god and his natural environment. The green areas evoke the vitality and rebirth of vegetation, while the blue ones convey the connection with water and aquatic elements. The texture of the stone seems to carry with it centuries of history and wisdom, giving the figure an air of antiquity and respect.
The representation of the ancient god of nature is presented in a majestic and reverent manner. Every sculpted detail, every nuance of color, contributes to the feeling that this figure is more than just a work of art; it is a visual and tangible manifestation of the very essence of nature and the divinity that inhabits it. Made with mixed technique on paper with a size of 41 x 51 cm.
Juan Ibarra's beginnings in the artistic world were shaped by the influence of his grandfather. Over time, he came across works by painters such as Miquel Barceló, Tamayo, Felguerez and others, which ignited within him a fervent passion for the visual arts. His creative ability spans a wide spectrum of forms of expression, from painting and printmaking to art-objects, and more recently, sculpture, in which he explores industrial materials.
Muralism also plays a vital role in his artistic journey, taking his creations to private institutions. His works have been presented and marketed in various galleries, as well as in cultural centers and firms specialized in design and interior design. Notable collaborations include 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 Mexico City, Galería de los Cerezo

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.
