VISTA AÉREA

Daniel Mattar transforms mineral pigments and gestures into vast photographic landscapes, using extreme magnification to explore materiality, abstraction, and the illusion of three-dimensional space.

Daniel Mattar continues exploring the micro-universe of surfaces that leads, in this series the intention to fly over valleys, oceans and mountains formed by the mineral pigment on paper where the artist marks, erases, adds several layers of gestures, calligraphy, colour dust and volumes that reveal themselves monumentally. The final result is materialized in large photographic prints.

The series dialogues with abstract expressionism, blind drawing in primitive traces.

From these photographs with macro lenses of huge approximation a landscape sometimes dramatic and with many details of a topographic view where Daniel's research follows in the curious approach of the body of the inks and in the search to occupy the third dimension in the two-dimensional plane of the photographic print.
