TEXT:
A paradox is a statement or problem that seemingly offers two entirely contradictory (yet possible) outcomes or provides evidence that defies our intuitive expectations. These enigmatic constructs have been a cornerstone of philosophical inquiry for centuries, consistently challenging our interpretation of simple situations. Paradoxes have the unique ability to upend our understanding, presenting situations that are both plausibly probable and impossibly inconceivable.
​
The notion of paradox is integral to the evolution of thought. "I know one thing," Socrates famously declared, "that I know nothing." This pivotal insight from one of Western philosophy’s founders urges us to question everything we assume to be true. The deeper our exploration, the more frequently we encounter paradoxes embedded within the fabric of our reality.
​
Our world is replete with mysteries, contradictions, and seemingly unanswerable questions. Paradoxes exemplify this complexity, often leaving us in a state of contemplation and wonder. It is within this intricate tapestry that this body of work finds its resonance.
​
The works in this series reflect my interpretation of some of the most well-known paradoxes. Despite their inherent complexity, I try to mantain a minimalist, conceptual approach to render these paradoxes, effectively distilling their essence into a form that is both accessible and profound. Through this technique, I simplify the complexity without diminishing the depth of the subject matter.
​
Art itself embodies a paradoxical nature: it is at once illuminating and enigmatic. It reveals its message while simultaneously concealing the full breadth of its conceptual underpinnings. My exploration of paradoxes through this series underscores this duality, demonstrating that delving deeply into any subject often leads to a paradoxical understanding.
​
This body of work invites viewers to explore these contradictions, encouraging them to ponder the mysteries of existence and embrace the profound insights that emerge from contemplating the impossible.
