Notes from The Intuigrams Notebook
Like ideograms, Intuigrams express a visual language. However, they symbolize intuitions instead of ideas. The language of the Intuigram is timeless and boundless, "spoken" and "written" by every creature in nature. This language lives in in our very cells, it is the trace left by intuition from the micro to the macro and as such, becomes the code of recurrent intuitions. I have recorded these Intuigrams in notebooks to begin with and little by little they are emerging and multiplying, materializing themselves in different works and mediums. Keeping faithful to the principle behind them, I am conscious of remaining fluid, letting them make themselves as much as possible, and trying to avoid extra noise and information that tends to create ideas and mental chatter. This is an attempt of giving a visual presence to the language of intuition and each Intuigram is a material manifestation of the intuitive plane. By the materiality of this new alphabet of sorts, there is a reminder of the symmetry, the structural sense, the proportions and the metaphors of the stream that is intuition; it's characters narrate a path. They come to be symmetrical or asymmetrical, sometimes self-similar, growing as a repetition of fractals in which each element that forms the single Intuigram is a smaller expression of the larger whole which is in turn, an expression of it's smallest parts. Within this containment and circularity there is dynamic complexity and plasticity. They began as two dimensions but have jumped into three and four dimensional planes... and the other way around. Some of them are clear shapes in black and white, borrowing from the traditional appearance of the written word and from the ancient Taoist symbol of Yin and Yang; a circle that unites opposites, coexisting without superiority or judgment but simultaneously, in a holistic way, reciprocal. Like the Yin and Yang, the make-up of some Intuigrams is the binary balanced as a whole. The making of each Intuigram is in constant dialogue with the void or space that surrounds it, choosing directions and turns, reacting to subtle shifts of being. --cp
CONCENTRIC CIRCLES
I imagine the creative process as a series of concentric circles emanating from an inner and inexhaustible core. I imagine each ring unfolding in time, sharing the same essence, emanating from the same source. I perceived how their waves touch dimensions that surround us, illuminating things that have always been here, merging for moments in time with the vast stock of images and symbols that we have inherited. Each ring, wave or circle represents the energy of this creative impulse. They are visions, rhythms, mathematical structures… Pulsing with a pure potential susceptible to be translated into physical presence: objects, stories, metaphors, equations, melodies, gestures, ideas, symbolic images... In this series I try to illustrate the nature of this vision. --cp
THE SCRIBE
Behind this series is a fictional character that plays with words. A storyteller. In this project I work with the written word as a plastic material. Storytelling is used as a way to create unlimited patterns that convey meaning beyond words. Letters and stories repeating themselves, always changing, always unique. --cp

GESTAL PROJECT
Entramos. Rodeados por inmensas paredes blancas y desnudas. Una luz líquida inunda el recinto donde todo pareciera blanco. Insistentemente blanco. Demasiado blanco. Es un enorme museo abandonado o vacío, marcado por un silencio sólido, casi inverosímil. Un museo sin cuadros ni estatuas... >> --cp
