"At this time in my life, I am presenting a series of paintings called “Metamorphosis: Dreams and Memories” . These new works are divided in two stages of my life: The dreams and the Memories. A search for a new direction but can only be found with the heart.
Dreams are provoked by the desire of personal and professional realization. At the same time, meanwhile I'm walking throughout my dreams, memories comes to my mind. The memories of my country, where I born and belong, my roots, traditions, my landscape. In my work I give shape to an space that no longer have or will disappear because the globalization and the industrialization. A daily transit able space that resist to be erased. These spaces and memories, are sometimes blurry but are always on my mind.
In the other hand, I am facing a mental stage of migratory displacement. This stage brings us the Dreams. The search for the right path and road, the light and the realization. These dreams are generally clearer than the memories. In the same way can be seeing in the esthetics of my new work.
I invite the viewer to reflect what is truly natural and beautiful, by awakening what may have been forgotten or overlooked, or by instilling something new and surprising. To confronting nature as seen by the artist." Erick Sánchez
