Multidisciplinary creative based in Medellín. Antioch. Colombia.
When the artist becomes fully aware of his own bodily functions, he observes himself, introspects, practices constant attention and preaches in the act of expressing and interpreting the existence of a BEING that goes beyond the conventional, makes discernment flow. full that recreates elements of vital importance in the dynamics of movement and breathing, essential tools to develop the capacities between the mind and the body related to mental balance, discovering the human being in himself with his ability to search for brushstrokes, shapes and color in a cosmic dance of creation, that is the AMANE – SERES series, images of slow and balanced action whose purpose evokes the interaction of man with the moment of time embodied in the action of painting, the dance in space and the weather.
Sensations such as movement and the moment are part of an action zone where Cesar Figueroa releases an authentic connection with painting, without much prior design, just the natural rhythm of full consciousness and the intuition of the artist's inner world, make up a proposal of art and life discovering a language in full development of the connection between mind and body, seeking cosmic balance under an aesthetic closely related to the beauty of the line in accordance with inner peace.
“Just dragging the brush on the canvas
And the smell of moisture from the acrylic…then
I observe the work for a long time
While I listen to the birdsong at dawn"
(Cesar Figueroa)
