Description
Work made using the ancestral technique of Swiss decoupage on photo paper. This captivating work presents a stylized portrait in black and white, where the striking contrast between the two colors creates a bold and expressive expression. The artist uses angular lines and geometric shapes to sketch the features of a masculine face, both severe and introspective. The thick outline delineates the face, accentuating details such as deep wrinkles and bristling hair, giving the character a strong presence. The frame decorated with triangular patterns adds a dynamic and rhythmic dimension to the composition, guiding the eye towards the center of the image. The minimalist use of graphic elements demonstrates technical mastery and a unique artistic vision, transforming a simple line into a work rich in emotion and symbolism. This piece is a brilliant example of the art of chromatic dichotomy and formal simplification.
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.
