title
Zodiac Pt3
When I came up with my interpretation of the signs of the zodiac I decided to run away from the topics and look for an original but minimalist approach, so I decided on a classic approach, attaching a lot of importance to symmetry.
The images speak of the duality that exists deep within, which allows us to commit the most selfless or vile acts: good and bad (light and darkness), life and death (mortality and immortality).
The bare figures (because of their curves and textures remind me of marble), incomplete (like those classic statues of Greece and Rome that have arrived incomplete to our days), the frontal poses symmetrical next to a single object to reinforce the minimalism.
The reason that has motivated me to choose these works from my Zodiac collection is to emphasize the duality of the human being when choosing to protect or not our natural environment which is the One that allows us to live and grow as a species. If we care about our environment and do not overexploit it we can live and endure. if we do not take care of our environment, it will give us back and we will not last.
