N.Y.C Reproductions

“The figuration I practice takes from photography its accents to aestheticize the image. Thus, this N.Y.C painting has been painted using as a sketch a composition of several photographs from the hotel where I was staying: the veteran New Yorker. The noise of the city rises from below like the smoke of battle. This sensation led me to add a pixelized curtain to the city that never sleeps: the cloudscape we see, in the form of a collage, belongs to Velázquez’s “La rendición de Breda”. “The figuration I practice takes from photography its accents to aestheticize the image.
