The trajectory of the painted gesture—from physical oil abstraction that strips away identity, to real-time digital interventions, spatial VR painting, and animated organic structures.
Abstraction & The Search for Expanded Painting traces the trajectory of the pictorial gesture as it breaks free from traditional supports. Beginning with physical oil abstraction that dissolves subject identity (Details of a River), the work evolves into real-time digital interactivity (Fusions), weightless spatial painting bridging digital and physical media (Graphic Evidence of an Incorporeal Painting & Corners of a Sphere), and autonomous animated brushstrokes inhabiting virtual space (SuperRare Genesis Series).

1. Details of a River (2020)
Oil on canvas.
Marking the foundation of this research, Details of a River uses close-up observations of water to dissolve figurative references. By nullifying the identity and origin of the subject, the oil paintings transform the river into an open field of possibility, where pigment and texture allow the image to belong to any form or space.

2. Fusions (2021)
Oil on canvas integrated with TouchDesigner real-time software.
Fusions initiates the bridge between physical matter and digital manipulation. By subjecting oil paintings to real-time TouchDesigner particle systems, the static nature of the canvas transforms into a dynamic, stimulating body. The gesture leaves its passive contemplation to acquire movement, color shifts, and a new digital dimension.

3. Graphic Evidence of an Incorporeal Painting & Corners of a Sphere (2022–2023)
VR spatial painting, 4K digital video, screenshots, and acrylic on paper.
These interconnected projects examine painting as a three-dimensional volume existing within virtual reality, free from gravity. Because these incorporeal gestures can only be fully experienced inside the VR environment, physical evidence is established through screenshots, video captures, and acrylic translations on paper—bridging the gap between the virtual mind ("the sphere") and the tangible physical body ("the corners").

4. SuperRare Genesis Series (2022)
Animated VR painting, 4K video loop, and digital NFT edition.
Developed for SuperRare, this series presents animated spatial painting as an autonomous, organic entity. Free from traditional supports, the pictorial brushstrokes inhabit virtual depth, moving and seeking an identity of their own within digital space.

Abstracción y la búsqueda de la pintura expandida traza la evolución del gesto pictórico al liberarse de los soportes tradicionales. Iniciando con la abstracción al óleo que anula la identidad de la figura (Details of a River), la investigación evoluciona hacia la interactividad digital en tiempo real (Fusions), la pintura espacial ingrávida que conecta el plano físico y virtual (Graphic Evidence of an Incorporeal Painting & Corners of a Sphere) y pinceladas animadas autónomas en el ciberespacio (SuperRare Genesis Series).
