Viejas creaciones/ Old Creations



El resultado fue satisfactorio
para ambos, aunque debo decir que la gama de colores de la pieza fue la tercera
que se intentó, ya que la primera había sido tonalidades verdes y azules, la
segunda en tonos azules y morados y finalmente nos decidimos por colores más cálidos y
alegres.
Mi trabajo le gustó tanto a Bulmaro
que decidió encargarme una serie de piezas para obsequiar a sus amistades, fue
así como inicié la serie de los caballitos de mar, el ave fénix y el gato
alado, que fueron elaborados también en base a figuras geométricas básicas, como lo fuera el alebrije-mantiz.


Siempre pensé en hacer una
segunda versión de estas piezas aunque más detalladas, sobre todo la del fénix
y los caballos de mar, piezas en las que tengo algo más de práctica. La idea es
que tengan un aspecto mucho más real y orgánico, de modo que uno pueda pensar
que criaturas semejante podrían existir porque se las estoy presentando de un
modo tan natural como me las puedo imaginar.

Los gatos son otro tema que
quisiera desarrollar, pero inspirado en las imágenes de algunos de los gatos
que nos presentara en algunos de sus cuadros la artista surrealista Remedios
Varo (en cuyos mundos me siento tan cómodo). Además tengo la idea desde hace
años de hacer un gato-lechuza.
------------------------------------
These are pics of a series of works that were asked me by my friend Bulmaro Álvarez. A few years ago, Bulmaro had asked me the creation of an alebrije, the indication that gave to me was that he wanted that the piece was tending to be more an insect. “ Alebrije mantiz ” had a long process of creation, and it was re-prepared three times before I was remaining satisfied with the final work.

The piece was inspired in an old illustration that I was doing years ago of a dragon-insect. In those years I had the intention of doing a bestiary of dragons, my friend Francisco Sámanoand I did a few illustrations on this matter, but as some of our projects they stayed just in the table. Nevertheless, when Bulmaro requested me the alebrije, I remembered that image and thought that it would be what the buscaba, in addition to which the forms of the dragon were very basic and easy to move to an object of three dimensions, so that I started being employed at the piece. The result was satisfactory for bothof us, although I must say that the scale of colors of the piece was the third that was tried, since the first one had been green and blue tonalities, the second in blue and purple tones and finally we decide on more warm and happy colors.

The cat was inspired in some image of the goddess cat Bastet, the body of the cat is much stylized across the curved and thin lines that form the extremities and the neck, and I thought about how to break somewhat the rhythm on having used sharp angles for the wings. The phoenix is the synthesis of a piece that I always thought about how to do a bigger size, although initially I imagined the tail it would be like like that of a pavorreal, in the end I chose that it was so simple as the tail of a mouse. The seahorses also are the result of a piece that he had imagined in advance, although the front extremities are those that have major resemblance with the terrestrial horses.

I always thought of doing the second version of these pieces although more detailed, especially that of the phoenix and the horses of sea, pieces in which I have slightly more of practice. The idea is that they have a much more real and organic aspect, so that one could think that creatures similar might exist because I am presenting them to him in a way as natural as can imagine them.
The cats are another topic that it wanted to develop, but inspired by the images of some of the cats that the surrealistic artist was presenting to us in some of his pictures Remedies Varo (in whose worlds I feel so comfortable). Also I have the idea for years of doing a cat-owl.
