The city in a culture of steel and concrete, there is no civilization today that does not have these two materials in its structures, ports are no exception, they are a world within another world, the docks full of huge cranes tirelessly loading containers, In this series of ink drawings, I mostly try to represent port activity with few marks. The absence of color allows me to focus on the subject clearly and directly. The views are mostly from above or from below, depending on the case (in the former, to cover a larger field of vision; in the latter, to represent the monumental). Of this entire group, only one work has color (“Nocturnal Structures”). Why? Simple: color adds a descriptive dimension without attempting to represent anything. This structure rises without permission, perhaps in the middle of the night, in a nameless city. It looks monumental but is unfinished; only its skeleton is visible, and the color helps to create a necessary and timely atmosphere and drama, giving the scene a special veracity without details, only with the sensation of chiaroscuro, precise tones, and a muted color with brief accents of intensity.
