The organic sculptures of the artist Federico Gomez link the raw material used in their elaboration to the formation of an identity, whether it is forest residue or fallen trunks. He adopts them as his children and through the form of a tree he narrates in first person what he perceives.
Weaving an experience that he shares visually with other living beings, a gesture that seals his commitment to his natural environment. Dictated in an ecological key, the message travels through the transformation of the landscape where each piece is located.
Inspired by nature and each and every one of the elements that inhabit it, giving it its logic, he perceives each sculpture he makes as a totem. Through which to contemplate the world with a certain calmness and taking the necessary distance.
A CONTEMPLATIVE JOURNEY FROM THE GENESIS OF NATURE.
Reminiscent, except for specific nuances, of cave art, at least in terms of rhythm and expression. That draws on ancestral ethnic art to connect us with our past and show us what our future may be like.
The elaboration of each piece, therefore, involves applying high doses of temperance. Because it has a lot of craftsmanship technique involving a laborious process, where the characteristics of the environment are a major influence on the final result.
READ IT IN SPANISH: Federico Gomez, arbol y raíz como expresión de nuestros origenes
Born in Madrid, he lives in the town of Bustarviejo, where Federico has the appropriate environment surrounded by forests and in the middle of the mountains of Madrid where he works in the calm. Carving specimens of trees whose final result, whether individual works or sculptural ensembles describe a journey back and forth.
Where the roots and identity are a journey where the natural environment is always present. Manifesting itself in each hollow, in each and every one of the silhouettes and the fragility they represent before our eyes.
