Nel sogno dei miei paesaggi VII (2021) Original Oil Painting by Juan Tardivo

Where I tell the images and colors that I take from some of my dreams in this strange period of isolation and domestic confinement.
Starting from the position of a body, the memory of an image or a posture or something that I dreamed of, I begin to recreate it in the canvas, where I portray myself and looking for a way to communicate that idea.
The backgrounds are fiery, mellow colors, with weights, textures, spots of dre- amlike landscapes that introduce me to a world of my own and the image of the body ends up small in the corner and all this matter descends on it and crushes it or accompanies it depends of the day.
The idea of telling these little dreams or little landscapes in which I am immer- sed is what helps me to bring out all the instability of the four walls, a slow
but important process, a story in history, a small one-year autobiography of reflection on what painting is and the relationship with my body.
