Artwork Description

Sensorial Mono 5

100.0 x 100.0 cm

This work is based on the deep exploration of monochrome as a tool to stimulate sensory perception, transcending mere visual representation. By limiting the palette to a single color and its variations of value, the viewer is invited to an introspective experience where light and shadow become the true protagonists. The exclusive use of the variation of values (lighter or darker) within a monochromatic range is not a restriction, but a deliberate strategy to amplify sensitivity towards tonal subtleties. Each gradation, from the pure luminosity of the white to the depths darkened by the mixture with complementary, seeks to generate an emotional and perceptual resonance. The interaction with white to lighten not only illuminates, but also introduces purity and expansion, suggesting spaces of calm, clarity or revelation. On the other hand, the strategic incorporation of complementary colors to darken the main tone, without breaking the apparent monochromy, adds a veiled complexity. This technique allows to reach rich and deep shadows, generating a feeling of mystery, weight or density, without the chromatic distortion that would result from the mixture with pure black. The complementary acts as a "chromatic darkener", enriching the value with a subtle temperature that the most attentive eye can perceive. In this way, the work is not only seen, but felt. Monochromy, far from being monotonous, is transformed into a field of experimentation for sight and emotion, where tonal variations evoke textures, depths, rhythms and atmospheres. The objective is for the viewer to immerse himself in a universe where light and shadow, masterfully modulated, awaken a symphony of sensations, demonstrating that the perceptive richness does not reside in the chromatic multiplicity, but in the depth and impact of its variations.
