CLOUDS

What if we took the most common thing, the most poetic but also one of the most trivial and overexploited image in the world and we make kitsch and poetic coexist ? Giving it back its status of infinity but at the same time using it as mere decoration. Like a place holder, the picture that is sold with the frame. And what if we install this frame of sky in public establishments, like an offices and such ? A contemplative piece that goes fill those blank spaces, like picture frames, wall painting, tv screen. Like a fake window. And at the same time it would take over its vulgarization, reappropriating it’s value and its status of art work. Its significance would be just stuck in an ambiguous status between art and ornament. Clouds is a series of printed canvases of different sizes which aim is to be placed in the most common spaces.
