Philosophical Painting
Philosophical Painting conceived by Sferico is a story structured by volumes and metaphysical perspectives where color and chiaroscuro merge for an attempt at balance.
Sferico "The future of the world" 125x90cm oil and amber painting on canvas
Work printed on canvas, glazed oil paint. Original. A very distant light source infinitely radiates the immaterial substance of the clouds, handed down from genesis in a rosy auroral phenomenon that advances into the near future. The sky is a background and not a place. The strategy of volumes, accelerated by multi-perspective perspectives, create symbolic paths, where the combination of color and light bring dynamics from a perspective of visual functionality. The characters are positioned according to an intuitive spatial geometry that regulates their movements, the curved lines reinforce or contrast the lines of force. The absence of the shadows cast by the work, characteristics of a suspended world, where each figure enjoys and emanates its own light, in memory of the light source. The imposing wall rises to defend Eden, its blood tint recalls the color of the biblical lamb's blood. The structure of the work is divided into three primary spaces; the land of paradise is the largest but covered by the encumbrance of the wall. The light decreases from left to right due to the progressive closure of the spaces.

Sferico "The persistence of life" 135x90cm oil and amber painting on canvas
The original nucleus The original nucleus opens and multiplies into several dimensions, in a metaphysical projection which investigates a hypothetical world of the afterlife, but it's nothing but a fleeting moment. The lines of force push upwards, all straining for that unknown something that lies behind all things and which every man senses. The isometric framework underlines, with the parallels, the non-ending of things. If modern man veils death behind a mirror, Sferico shatters it to go beyond the image with the imaginary and a greater depth of field.

Sferico “The original sin” 130x130cm oil, amber and gold sequin painting on canvas
The flourishing garden of Eden leaves the scene to a soil seared by the original sin, but on the surface appear fossil remains, like holes in which is deposited and preserved the DNA of the seeds that god sows everywhere. The predominance of terrestrial surfaces push the sky improbably upwards in a compression that flows into a sombre twilight shading. The edenic water is polluted and purified, remaining the same as on the first day, assuming therefore symbolic valency of the unconditional love of god. The water is that which acts as binder in the unfolding of the ongoing story, even by its absence in the aridity of the soil. Out of apparent chaos, pathways make their way through the dynamic of clues and connections which provide coordinates and allow them to move within the map of the complex story and decipher its sense. Destiny of a raft that navigates the ocean of space.

images and the lost imaginative
The contemporary world, based on images developed by psychological criteria and special effects, has reduced the imaginative power of the individual. In Sferico one has the process inverted, that is, the artistic act not as personal affirmation, but open to the creative intuition of the viewer, of that which the artist himself presents.
