Luis González Palma works on view

From the beginning, my work has been a reflection on the gaze. How are eyes that stare at us constructed in our internal experience? How are shadows, brightness, and all the geography implicit in each photograph interpreted and elaborated within us? If our way of seeing is shaped by the social and the cultural, we can conclude that every gaze is political and that every artistic production is subject to this judgment. The gaze as power. From there, I can feel that the work of art is a possibility to make this evident, to question our way of seeing, to question the history that has produced all these gradations of the gaze and therefore, our ways of reacting to the world. In my artistic process I have tried to create images that invite to be examined through what I call “emotional contemplation,” giving the meaning of their form through their beauty. Over the years I have built scenarios and modified certain faces to create images that allow other perceptions of the world, other ways of understanding it, and of modifying it internally.
