Artist Books

WORKS IN BOOK FORM

An artist book is a work of art, done in its entirety (or almost entirely) by a plastic artist. It’s a form of expression, a symbiosis of multiple possible combinations of different languages and ways of communication.

An artist book or object book is a plastic/artistic expression that was born in the mid-20th century. Therefore, the editorial work takes on a new value as a work of art, and as an artistic entity by itself and not only by its content..

THE BEAUTY & THE UNCANNY

This set of visual poems was conceived and performed over the course of the Burning Forest series. In 2010.

On the edge of beauty, the abyss. Fragility and beauty caught in an instant.

These works provide an unprecedented way to create dramatic tension through silence and immobility.

They are like moments of poetic tension with the metaphor of the background. These poems try to condense and freeze in the structure of the frame these sensations received from nature.

This book is made up of 12 images created by the artist and reproduced digitally, six of them illuminated by hand by the artist.

The stamping is on 255 grms Somerset paper.
Size 22x22cm.
