Sin titulo, (1998)
80 x 80 cm
Pintura industrial sobre tela

Dentro de la pintura abstracta, este artista viene desarrollando, por mas de una decada, un estudio sobre el espacio y su caligrafia, sus imposibles composiciones son derivadas del choque emocional que se produce entre lo imaginado y lo que solo es posible por el temperamento del artista. Paez quiere llevar a un maximo su libertad expresiva, articulando la caligrafia gestual con irrazonables desplazamientos de color, todos suspendidos liricamente en un espacio neutro tanto del papel como de la tela. El color en su obra nunca ha dejado de ser un elemento de gran fuerza, la relacion entre la intensidad y la insaciable escritura gritan a duo, agitandose plasticamente, como lo hacen continuamente las energias imperceptibles del universo. Lo que siempre me ha interesado en sus pinturas es esa carga violenta de color, solamente color, anarquicamente, sin control ninguno, el color otra vez, como el lugar a donde debe llegar la pintura nuevamente. Creo que el drama en su obra esta relacionado con la imposibilidad de definir la pintura, prefiriendo al final, el ardor que produce enfrentarce a su propia imposibilidad.

Industrial paint on canvas

Whithin abstract painting, this artist has been developing, for over a decade, a study about space, his calligraphy, his impossible compositions are derived from the emotional impact produced by what is imagined and by what is only possible because of the artist's feelings. Paez wants to render at maximum his expressive liberty, articulating the gestural calligraph with irrational rendering of color, all lyrically suspended in a neutral space in canvas and in paper. Color in his work has never stopped being an element of grat force, the relationship between that intensity and the greediness of the writimg both screaming at once, plastically agitating endlessly and constinously as it is done by the imperceptible energies of the Universe. What I have always been interested in his paintings is that violent charge of color, only color, anarchical, without control, color again, as the place where paint has to arrive again. I believe that the drama of his work is related to the impossibility of defining paint, preferring at the end, the burning that is produced in the encounter of his own impossibility.
