INGENUITY AN AMAZING CAPACITY THAT HELPS US TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, BOTH IN HUMANS AND IN MANY ANIMAL SPECIES AS A MEANS OF SURVIVAL. IN THIS WORK THE PROTAGONIST IS A SPARROW THAT SEES WATER FROM A DRIPPING FOUNTAIN CALMING ITS THIRST. MANY SPECIES LIVE IN HURVAN ENVIRONMENTS WHICH WITH INGENUITY HAVE BEEN ADAPTED AS ENVIRONMENTS WITH FEW PREDATORS.
IN THIS WORK I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE ANIMAL INGENUITY FOR SURVIVAL, THE SPARROW SEEING WATER FROM THE SOURCE IN AN ORINAC ATMOSPHERE TO TRANSMIT TO THE SPECTATOR THAT ALMOST MAGICAL INSTANT WHERE THE SOURCE SEEMS TO GIVE THE SPARROW SEVERE WATER TO CALM HIS FINGER.
THE TECHNIQUE IS COMPLEX BECAUSE IN ORDER TO CRYSTALIZE THE INK MULTITUDE OF COLOR LAYERS ARE APPLIED, TO CREATE GLAZES AND TEXTURES IN THE PICMENTS, BEING VERY LABOROUS AND SLOW, TO PREVENT THE TONES FROM BLENDING AND OVERLAPPING BECAUSE THE DEGREE OF MOISTURE WILL THE INK MUST BE SUITABLE SO THAT THE LOWER LAYERS DO NOT MIX AND THUS BE ABLE TO MAKE THE COLORS DENSE, BRIGHT AND VIBRANT, GETTING A TEXTURE LIKE OIL. THE VISUAL EFFECT OF THE INK WHEN IT CRYSTALIZES IS ALMOST THREE-DIMENSIONAL, ACCENTUATING THE DEPTH AND VOLUMES WE GET A WINDOW EFFECT, WHICH LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN ENTER THE WORK. DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE WORK, IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS TO FINISH IT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THE DRYING TIMES OF THE MENTOS.
THIS WORK IS BASED ON THE BASE MATERIALS, ACID-FREE VIRGIN CARDBOARD FOR PRESERVATION OF THE PICMENTS AND COLOR QUALITY. THE PICMENTS USED IN CHINESE INK, GOLD AND SILVER, FINAL SPRAY LACQUER FINISH TO PROTECT THE PAINTING OVER TIME.
