Abstract

The extraordinary capacity of ‘reinvention’ that the painting is developing in the last decades allow to affirm its full vitality: an interesting process of redefinition that is projected in parameters intrinsic to the pictorial language or in others until now little treated, providing the final result plurality, nuances, polysemy and pertinence. These potentialities must be related to the current Technological Age, contaminated by cybernetic, digital and photographic resources. Two emerging artists, Federico Miró and Alejandro Martín, pose in their plastic inquiries a twist to the fascinating world of pictorial creation. The study of historical proposals leads them in each case to discover new paths that border the figurative and the abstract, with points in common but also with notable divergences. And the light acting as a suggestive vehicle to concretize images or check how their projection and reflection on certain elements can be the object of new perceptions.
