Adislen Reyes Pino (b. 1984)
Artist Statement
I have always been interested in the confrontation between opposing concepts and elements, the mutual dependence that arises between both, thus highlighting the limit that divides them.
In my process I break and then rebuild, that is why the act of tearing, crushing, squeezing has a symbolic and aesthetic connotation. Its material result is the remnants of my previous works now transformed into new textures and forms. The imperfect can become perfect in this self-contained recycling process; a second chance for things that didn't have it at the time.
