Agriculture and Technology
This work is part of the SAT Agriculture and Technology series, Agro Tech, which I started in 2022.
Agricultural sector. Spain.
The energy crisis, recurrent droughts, the war in Ukraine and the importation of agricultural products from third countries with less phytosanitary controls reinforce the need for Spain, a country with a strong agricultural sector, to design a balanced technological transformation of the countryside. Turning Spain into a huge alternative energy industrial area would drastically limit our potential.
Agro Tech
An intelligent approach to agriculture, in which technological advances would be very present, would reduce our dependence on energy and water. And this investment in new technological areas specific to agriculture would have a positive impact on other social and productive sectors.
New directions
With this new series, based on the previous series Caseta y jardín, I want to expand these territories or landscapes, introducing concepts of agricultural production and urbanism. I am also looking for a visual representation of this new approach, in which non-invasive aesthetics would play an important role.
Drawing is building.
My main tool is drawing. Drawing is the link that can give form to what is in itself vaporous or intangible; ideas and metaphors. And painting is built with metaphors.
Series open in time
Agriculture and Technology, Agro Tech, is a series projected along an extensive timeline.
The work, Agriculture and Technology SAT/10, was a finalist in the XXXII Painting Prize Villa de Montellano, Sevilla. Spain.
