RESUMEN:
Memory of the landscape presents works that are not a representation of nature but a literal piece of it. A sensory perception that becomes a continuous experience that carries a concrete memory. Its impact poetically connects with the impressions of memory since memories are based on sensations, shapes, and colors. An abstraction of the landscape is explored, like an aerial view whose shapes provoke a very familiar experience that refers to memory and transports to places, thus turning abstract painting into projected personal landscapes.
