About this artwork
A vestige is a part of something unknown that tells a story in itself, something that contains disturbing information and allows for questioning. It's a suitable excuse as a pictorial motif to speculate, imagine, and decipher. In this case, the vestige is a human head.
Violence in Colombia has engulfed our cultural identity, and these kinds of horrors are part of our landscape.
A head on a rural road, where the armed conflict has largely been experienced… for more than half a century: it is an everyday vestige. The issue of representation in the information age, through the paradoxical relationship between science and religion, languages that currently proclaim themselves bearers of the world's answers, of truth, but which, when interacting with each other, become architects of a mythological world. Discourses in constant rivalry.

David Arias is a painter and draftsman with a Master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Antioquia. He has exhibited since 2006. He uses acrylic and oil on canvas techniques, exploring new figuration and expressionism in the technological age, creating non-traditional images on classic media. His works convey human anxiety and longing in the face of the disappearance of his essence in the face of technology, evoking profound reflection on magic, desire, and human nonconformity.
