RGB Paintings

RGB Paintings is a series of works on paper inspired by daily life means of communication systems, screens, and the Internet.

The process giving rise to these paintings seeks to analogize algorithms composing images in LCD screens, thus creating a parallel between a physical and a digital language. The works are composed of red, green and blue colours (the three colours constituting the pixels that structure screens), thereby approaching the Additive colour theory (light) by “physical” pigments.

The layout is organized in a raster, in which the pixels will compose the structure of the works. The composition is created by technical accidents or “glitches” occurring during the process of “transmission of information”. Some “bits” of papers fall unglued from the support resulting in a random lack of data, which is supplanted by the background, creating new colours and flecks of information on a monochromatic (or three-chromatic) surface.
