Through a perspective that unites tribal symbols and volume forms, Daniel Mattar evokes angelic creatures from a mythical sphere that emit their own writing.
Using organic forms of both bodies and parts, they echo signals from these celestial characters in a psychography of the subtle spheres captured, but not yet translated.
In his technique, the artist uses paint drops that are conducted on a small surface of 4 cm and immediately photographed with a macro lens which reveals the three-dimensionality through the recording of light and shadow.
These images are finished as large format prints, resulting in the change of the scale of these chromatic volumes and occupying an area of dialogue between photography, painting and sculpture.
