DESCRIPTION
In this painting from the Little Fragments series, rust is the dominant element. The artist recreates this effect using a two-component paint. Once the paint is applied to the canvas, the artist applies a reagent solution that activates the rusting process. This is possible because the paint used as a base contains a ferrous component.
For the artist, rust is a very dear element that represents change, the consistency of time.
In this painting we find all the artist's introspection that characterizes most of his works.
