Time can be defined as an ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession, from past through the present, and to the future. Time is used to quantify, measure, or compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and even, sequence events.
Sustainability is commonly defined as “meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” It’s about ensuring that humans have what they need, now and in the future. Of course, part of that means ensuring that the physical environment stays in good shape. But really, the emphasis in social sustainability is on ensuring humans have what they need.
I applied both on my artworks… I spend time on them, most of the time is the past because the knowledge that I applied comes from experiences I gained in the past, and I applied them to the present to create this three pieces. And sustainable materials, when I’m painting in a place I try to use supplies from nature, in this case were tree leaves, moss, sand, gravel, coffee… with that I try to make a small sustainable social impact.

AVAILABLE - Series "Animism and Omnipotence" N2 - 2023
Mixed Media on Aluminium Framed Canvas - 180x90cms
Animism bears a striking resemblance to the ways obsessional neurotics and children understand their ability to influence the universe, all of which suffer in Freud’s view from belief in the omnipotence of thoughts, or in other words that human thoughts have efficacious power in the world. Human thoughts and desires can lead to physical results, according to these three groups, thus creating magical belief, that one’s thoughts and intentions can have impacts in the world if combined with proper rituals. In animism such omnipotence humans attribute to themselves, causing Freud to postulate an early form of the theory of narcissism that underlies this viewpoint, where one overvalues oneself as a love object and attributes to oneself the powers that one later attributes to others. In religious thinking, omnipotence of thinking is attributed to a god or gods who are stand-ins for one’s parents, representing the psychological stage where one’s sexual attraction is directed towards one’s family. And finally in scientific thinking, it is renounced entirely, corresponding to the psychological point where “an individual has reached maturity, has renounced the pleasure principle, adjusted himself to reality and turned to the external world for the object of his desires.”
