CATALINA CORTES

Pictorial exploration focuses on the search for one's own place, through the different relationships we establish with the space we inhabit. “This happens through the constant construction of our environment and, also, our own personality.” It defines the city, the place where it has always lived, as much by the material structures as by the social relations, the urban phenomena or the activities that take place there. His painting seeks to make us question what is natural in what is constructed. He declares that he is constantly searching for his place, constantly building, like the images he creates and the cities he inhabits. In his paintings, his cities pulsate as their individuals grow and combine with various recognizable natural elements and surreal tones, found in private collections in America, Europe and Oceania.
