Studies on Mysticism, 2017

Studies on Mysticism (2017) is a series of airbrushed works painted directly on the surface of flattened product wrappers, such as chewing gum or cookie boxes. I reproduce the original product background graphics omitting any foreground registers – such as words or logos or images – with the purpose of revealing the transcendental metaphysical promise the products present. I am looking for. With these works, I want to point to produce a sense of light and space foreign to the hustle of everyday living, and point to the potential for the metaphysical and the divine to present themselves in the most unexpected.
