Ecuador - Biennale Arte 2015
Venice, Italy

After a transcendental journey to Ecuadorian ancestor’s practices with gold, when they used special techniques like hammered and embossing to elaborate unusual figures and gold masks with original physiognomies, I thought strongly about the splendour of a rare collection of pieces bathed of light, operating in space with an identity adapted to an aesthetic of renewal, I signed my “contemporary location” with the elaboration of pieces of virtual or artificial gold to visualize the existence of authentic gold contemporary artworks in the next future.
