LLuvia

 

Lluvia is a single graphite drawing on translucent vellum paper, measuring 37.8 x 13.8 inches, that seeks to capture the elusive and nature of rainfall not as meteorological data, but as an ephemeral, sublime presence that shapes both land and memory. This work is not a depiction of rain, but a meditation on its passage its rhythm, its silence, its weightless density. Rendered delicately on the transparent surface of vellum, the drawing becomes a veil: a space where gravity, light, and fragility converge.

 

Lluvia is not only water; it is a temporal phenomenon. It arrives, it alters, it disappears. This drawing attempts to hold that which cannot be held the moment when the sky leans down to touch the earth, when atmosphere becomes presence. The transparency of the vellum allows the drawing to breathe, as if the rain itself were suspended in the air, caught between fall and evaporation.

 

The work speaks to impermanence, to the intimate relationship between landscape and atmosphere. It is a study of vertical motion, of silence in descent. And yet, within its delicate marks, there is tension the anticipation of change, the echo of storms, the weight of what rain remembers. Ultimately, Lluvia is a drawing of what cannot be seen in full a trace of the invisible, an invocation of the sublime through the most transient of phenomena.
