These oil paintings on food packaging explore the notion of transformation through materials whose nature is inherently unstable, ephemeral, and destined for disposal.
The series explores the cross-pollination between two visual systems that typically belong to different realms: design and contemporary painting. In these works, neither language dominates the other. Both coexist on the same surface, where the paint does not erase the brand, nor does the brand neutralize the paint. This encounter not only links two visual languages but also connects two universes that nourish us daily: the world of images and the world of food. Both food and artwork are part of circuits of production, circulation, and consumption.
This intersection shifts our perspective on an everyday object whose function seemed completely defined. In a context where the visual language of the market has colonized much of our daily aesthetic experience, the painting attempts to incorporate a different experience within an object conceived for immediate consumption, proposing alternative times for contemplation. The painting thus infiltrates ordinary, mass-produced objects, transforming the way we perceive them towards the singularity of the unique work.
