MONTAÑAS I

 

This proposal is born as a whisper among peaks: a series of graphite drawings that evoke the vastness of the Mérida landscape, where the mountains, silent and eternal, rise as witnesses of the sublime. Through the gaze and the gesture, the aim is to reimagine the landscape, to reconstruct its essence, and to reveal its profound beauty that which moves us beyond the visible.

 

The project is woven through lines and shadows, taking the commanding presence of the natural terrain as its point of departure. The mountains become both symbol and refuge, form and feeling. The study of Mérida’s geomorphology serves

as a guide for the drawing, a bridge between the earth’s science and human emotion.

 

Conceived as a Special Degree Project in Art (TEGA), the work involves creating twelve medium-format drawings (96 x 66 cm), rendered in graphite on Opalina paper. Each piece will be an intimate conversation between matter and thought, between technique and sensibility a process in which conceptual development and artistic practice flow together like rivers born from the same mountain.

 

This series of drawings seeks not merely to represent, but to translate to translate the hidden language of the land, its folds and silences, into a personal visual voice. The aim is to build a drawing code that emerges from within, an echo of what inhabits me, what shapes me, what I am.

 

Because to draw these mountains is not only to speak of geography it is to speak of memory, of identity, of the emotion stirred by the immensity of what cannot be grasped. It is to search, in every line, for a way to express the unspeakable a sensitive resolution that does not just depict the landscape, but feels it.
