The Elements

of the last minute

This piece is a gift to science, for expanding my rational vision and be able to observe and delimit my inner chaos within the composition. As did the Russian Chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev, who discovered the underlying pattern to arrange the Periodic Table, I borrowed the tabular form of the periodic table to group The Elements of the last minute in a certain composition.

The mural consists of 94 two-dimensional pieces; each piece is made on ceramic tile. The materials used where: oil-based, acrylic and vinyl paint; water inks, etching oil and lacquers. Furthermore, microparticles, gypsum, resins and binder were applied to add relief volume. 

 

“Uncertainty” was the central element in the creation, I proceed without regards to knowing where I was heading, but spurred by the passion to discover where I arrived. In each part of the mural I captured the mental and emotional state of the time. After the experimentation phase, I explored the potential interpretations of the composition.

 

Scientific advances reveal that if we were to represent the last minute of the cosmic calendar, all things we went through - loves, wars, knowledge, etc., would occupy a tiny fraction in terms of time and space in comparison with the Cosmos.


All emotions are represented on this little box (collective consciousness), and with it, the metamorphosis. As a response to it, I rebuilt my structures as if they were poems, filled with different meanings. I perceive structures and forms in the same way I see words; these can be bent, mixed or matched as desired.

 

To me, structures and forms are uncertain connections that resonate between mind and matter, and these, in turn, form their own language. My intention as an artist is to construct my own grammar, where a vocabulary achieved over time could manage to create different nets of meaning.

Progressively, I explored the scale as a possibility of the artwork inside immersive installations. The intention was to blur the relationship between the viewer and the artwork; to let the person in and amplify his/her perception within it. The symbolism of the work is born from the matter’s  core and is formed by the evolution of gestural to more prominent architectural forms reaching into three-dimensionality.

Each work is an experiment that explores various forms of communication through the discovery of images which materialize as tomographic reconstructions; as an image processing of my interior by sections. Wary, emotional or aesthetic images unveiling the best or the worst of me, as an entity in constant evolution.

Romero conceives art as a scientific means to explore reality and the human being.
