More information

This series of works made of ceramic printing on glazed chinese porcelain, refers to the traditional dishes from Limoges, Delft or Cartuja de Sevilla. In this case, the traditional decoration of flowers and pastoral landscapes is replaced by a myriad of famous people drawn from the banknotes of various countries. These portraits, which occupy the central part of the plate, take an international historical journey and reflect on the representation of authority.


Todos estos ojos provienen de retratos en billetes de todo el mundo. Los ojos inquebrantables de héroes nacionales miran fijamente al espectador, pero no se centran en nadie ni en nada. El ojo que todo lo ve (también conocido como el Ojo de la Providencia, el Delta Luminoso o el Ojo Panóptico cuando está encerrado en un triángulo) es un símbolo de origen egipcio relacionado con la visión, la luz, la sabiduría y el espíritu, interpretado por el catolicismo como la vigilancia de Dios sobre la Humanidad. En este caso, el dios es el dinero.


Aquesta sèrie d’obres, feta amb impressió ceràmica sobre porcellana xinesa vidriada, referència als plats tradicionals de

Limoges, Delft o la Cartoixa de Sevilla. En aquest cas, la decoració tradicional de flors i paisatges pastorals és substituïda

per una miríada de persones famoses dibuixades a partir dels bitllets de diversos països. Aquests retrats, que ocupen la

part central del plat, emprenen un viatge històric internacional i reflexiona sobre la representació de l'autoritat.
