About this artwork

The blond boy plays on the beach, but instead of sand, he digs in an unfamiliar environment, and from his hole, a dark, viscous fluid gushes forth. This visual metaphor for the extractivism to which South American soil is subjected by foreign companies is represented with different pictorial techniques that seek to emphasize the meanings of each sign in the image: the soil is material, worked with a spatula and acrylic paint thickened with plaster;… the boy is represented with classic European techniques; and the black fluid is rendered with glossy synthetic enamel, highlighting its foreign materiality compared to the rest of the scene.

Credentials

Works on commission

Juan Balaguer, a graduate in Fine Arts with 25 years of professional experience, uses the medium of painting and drawing. By transforming photographic images into paintings, he seeks to highlight hidden meanings through different techniques and styles: oil for naturalistic representation, acrylic and enamel for textures and materials. His works, a reflection of his everyday experience and autobiography, convey criticism and reflection on the stereotypes and desires colonized by advertising.
