African Warriors. Guerreros africanos


I imagined three African Warriors watching at the enemy across the forest. They are ready for the battle with painted faces. Most probably the one at the right side is scared, the one in the middle is angry and brave, the first one is thinking about stratagems. 
I selected the red and black colors as primary, considering the tragedy of war, any war.

Robot rock band. Banda de rock de robots



This is a digital intervention of a screen shot from my computer, from a video of the Japanese robot rock band. Here the text and link for one of the videos:

A three-piece band made entirely from robots plays guitar, drums and keyboard alongside Japanese pop singers in Tokyo on Monday. The trio, called Z-Machines, was designed by engineers and academics at Tokyo University who hope to one day send them to play in space. The robots performed to a crowd of 100 people and accompanied Japanese group Amoyamo

Woman with her dog looking at the sea. Mujer con su perro mirando al mar


I took this picture with respect, never trying to show the woman´s face, that I´ve barely seen.
I was reflecting about the scale, in architecture one of the main subjects is the human scale, but then it is  out of context in a landscape where we don´t have built references. Of course, the original photo is bigger, but to create this feeling of uncertainty, I cropped the surrounded people and left a towel, that looks enormous in the distance. And the dog, sitting next to the woman, looks even bigger than her.
The unknown object (I suppose it´s a beach bag full of stuff), together with the dark sandals are closing the triangle composition, while the waves and the towel emphasize the horizontal lines.
Let´s consider it as an exercise of scaling. I´ve chosen the black and white to make it even more surrealist.
