Drip’on face approaches to the expressure of the frozen gesture, the automatism of the pictorical practice by the artist and the faithfull transfer of those gestures to the perceptible format, the final work. Thousands of gestures (frozen) which make a plastic reality. The visible rugosity (painting-painting), without more (or less). The color, intimately integrated in the polymeric matter, which is not more than a suport of translation. The matter comes many times from the natural world (powdered minerals, like the marble, the slate, the sand from different places, the micronized pigments), and other has been manipulated and made by the Man: pictoric paste charged with ink and pigments. Color or its absence, in sum.
The gesture, visible curved, obvious. The gesture which models a dense dripping, which reveals in infinite and interminable lines like a tangle, in which we can observe the making the work of the artist.
The gravity dripping, like a simple and evident technique, which in reality forms works of complex appearance, of intense texture.

Drip’on face aborda la expresión del gesto congelado, el automatismo de la práctica pictórica por el artista y el fiel traspaso de esos gestos al formato percibible, a la obra final. Miles de gestos (congelados) que conforman una realidad plástica. La rugosidad a la vista (pintura-pintura), sin más (ni menos). El color íntimamente integrado en la materia polimérica, que no es más que un soporte de traslación. Materia muchas veces procedente del mundo natutal (minerales pulverizados, como el mármol, la pizarra, las arenas de diferentes procedencias, los pigmentos micronizados), otras de la manipulación y fábrica del hombre: pasta pictórica cargada con tintes y pigmentos. Color o su ausencia, en suma.
El gesto, visiblemente curvo, patente. El gesto que modela un goteo espeso, que se revela en líneas infinitas e interminables como una maraña, en la que se observa el quehacer del artista.
El goteo (dripping) a gravedad como una técnica sencilla y envidente, que en realidad conforma obras de apariencia compleja, de intensa textura.
