Y más adelante con artistas con algo de crudeza en sus obras, como Berni, y también con los que se interesaron por una metafísica creíble. Pienso en Guzmán Loza, Gramajo Gutiérrez, Gambartes. Internacionalmente el arte cicladito, el egipcio o el arte escultórico africano tradicional me pueden.

My “line” is marked by Latin American artists who researched about the relation between visual arts and rituality, specially the Afro-Latin, and that didn’t do this “from the outside”. Lam, Mestre Didi, Rubem Valentim, José Bedia, Belkis Ayón, Ana Mendieta, Cravo Neto are some of them. From the ones with whom I interact, the following are also in this line: Dany Barreto, Ángela López Ruiz, Guillermo Zabaleta, Anabel Vanoni. And outside my personal focus, from contemporary art, I’m very interested -much more than I thought in the beginning- in Young Brits, I think Cai Guo-Qiang is great, also Keisuke Shirota. In relation to the past of national art, I feel totally identified with Pre-Colombian Art from here, especially with sculpture artists that carved stone. And later on, with artists that had some rawness in this works, like Berni. And also with the ones interested in a believable metaphysics; I’m thinking of Guzmán Loza, Gramajo Gutiérrez, Gambartes. Internationally speaking, I’m fascinated by Cycladic Art, Egyptian or the traditional African sculpture art. And the much closer in time: Bacon.
