Description
Work made using the ancestral technique of Swiss decoupage on cardstock. This is a fascinating work that combines portraiture and graphic art with striking mastery. The face, precisely cut out, stands out against a plain background, creating a striking contrast between shadow and light. The features are accentuated by thick, black lines, giving the portrait an imposing and expressive presence. The details of the ears, amplified by stylized floral motifs, add a touch of complexity and symbolism, evoking cultural or spiritual themes. This bold use of black on white transcends simple physical representation to evoke emotional depth. The absence of color reinforces the intensity of the gaze, drawing the observer into reflective contemplation. It is a work that challenges by its apparent simplicity but its symbolic depth, inviting the exploration of underlying identities and narratives.
Presentation
A self-taught Swiss-Canadian artist of Salvadorian origin, Bences draws his inspiration from the contemplation of nature and his pre-Columbian roots, to which he is deeply attached. The spectacle of the Alpine peaks is a source of wonder that brings back irresistible memories of the countless volcanoes of his childhood. He imagines an astonishing bestiary lurking in these protean clouds that slither from summit to summit.
An eclectic visual artist, he moves from engraving to painting, while reappropriating the ancestral technique of decoupage, so popular in Switzerland. This has enabled him not only to resurrect some of the key figures from his childhood in El Salvador, but also to pay tribute to forgotten heroines such as Rufina Amaya and Rigoberta Menchu, the Mayan activist from Guatemala who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. But nothing fascinates Bences as much as capturing the expressiveness of an animal, whether it's the Central American jaguarundi (wild cat), or the familiars he sees around him today, such as the graceful Zazie or the tender Cosack.
