Manconi Gil | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Gradually Gil discovered other materials, while keeping wood as a working basis, and so he began composing his paintings with annealed glass and metal (brushed aluminum, tin ...). He uses fire to oxidize and "texture" the surface. On a charred base, elements contrast and fuse. Wood is his canvas, a soldering iron his brush. His work focuses on geometric elements and materials that are opposed and superimposed in space by a set of lines, textures and strong contrasts. The artist gives modest materials a sense of glory. His inspiration comes from his perspective on our graphic and textured environment. The feelings and emotions that are evoked are his palette of inspiration. Through the balance that he is seeking in his works, he seeks a harmony in his own life. A harmony that he finds in his art.
