About this artwork
This work (and the others in the series) start from the reflection on the devotion to material objects, which, seen as fetishes, lead to inquire about their (supernatural) power to intervene in states of being, mood and/or luck, turning its essence (that of the material object) into a trigger for superstitious worship to activate memory, attract what is wanted, correspond to a circumstance or strengthen faith in what is believed. "Espantamoscas"…
is a "folkloric" object used recurrently in the kitchens of the towns and rural areas of the Colombian territory, and about which there is a popular belief of having properties to scare away flies.

« Reinterpreting Martin Heidegger ... Art is a revelation of truth chained to the divine, it establishes man in a bond directly with his absolute being. »
CAYE66 is an award-winning Columbian artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. His creative process employs scenarios, circumstances, or everyday objects, which are intervened and transformed, representing a symbolic synthesis of personal experience, as well as the human presence and its existentialism. CAYE66's narrative based compositions are supported by painting and drawing techniques "as a means to collect reality and transform it into representation".
