The existence of a whole is not enough to paint.
The irrepressible impulse to attract the world and bring it to a painting is a force superior to what exists, it is the force to create the non-existent.
The landscape is a changing and unstable entity just like the artist, so why dedicate years to the work and its search to stop nature in a painting?
Because the artist, in order to understand this incessant change, is forced to reproduce it and, in this process, understand how nature creates its colors, how weather and physical phenomena are complicit in that presence.
It is not an element of nature, it is not a photograph, it is not documentation, it is painting, it is art.
That is why calling these works “photorealistic” is an error located in the terrible understanding that there is on the part of academics and the artists themselves, about what art and painting mean as an analytical discipline of reality.
Painting itself is an abstraction, separating something from its surroundings to magnify it and stopping it at the artificial border of the canvas, changing everything from color to proportion, is the result of our abstract thinking.
There is no realism, there is an anti-real process, which is to capture a part of an infinite flow. Remove it with memory and emotions, in a spiritual conjunction to then test all the knowledge about the trade of painting, to capture that emotion.
The artist must paint and must forget, the spectators must remember.
