Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This graphite drawing depicts a solitary, spherical form against a dimly lit, blurred background. The artist has used a textured, hatch-like technique to render the smooth, almost surreal surface of the object, which appears to have a single, enigmatic eye-like opening. The overall composition suggests a meditative, introspective mood, inviting the viewer to contemplate the symbolic nature of this enigmatic, mysterious form.

Iván Trueta’s work delves into the intersections of drawing, painting, and spatial interventions. He critically examines the normalization of violence, tragedy, and misfortune in contemporary society, employing irony and absurdity as tools for reflection.

Trueta's artistic approach is characterized by a commitment to capturing the traces and vestiges of the past within the present. He utilizes drawing and pictorial processes to investigate the enclosure of gestures and the accumulation of layers, allowing surfaces to reveal remnants of previous actions.

His practice invites viewers to engage with the complexities of memory, history, and space, offering a nuanced perspective on the forces that shape our lived experiences. ...
