ULTRADISTANCIA AIRPORTS SERIES
I am drawn to what stands out from an aerial perspective: the geometries, contrasts, repetitions, and the organic forms of nature, whether altered or unaltered by man. Like many others, I am fascinated with airports. Some of them I have flown over on planes, many of them in my dreams, the ones presented here from satellites.
This series, which began when ULTRADISTANCIA started, coheres in this first set of airports and continues in the new works created, commissioned or freely, matures and summarizes the spirit of this artistic project that travels the world: the earth as a canvas, the maps unconscionable.
I used to be a frequent flyer and would always choose a window seat to admire the view of airports as we took off or landed. Even on gray days or when the view lacked contrast, squinting my eyes and looking out of the corner added a unique layer of distortion to the ground colors.
Years later, my visual experiments with satellite images led to the development of ULTRADISTANCIA, and my first finished work was an airport. I was captivated by the geometry of the runways and the shapes of the terminals, and I was eager to extract everything that were hidden there.
