Despertares

At (ir-)regular intervals, we pause amidst the routine and rush of everyday life. In sleep, we slip away from the linear flow of time, drifting into spaces filled with fragments of memories, emotions, and fleeting impressions. Dreams create room for vivid experiences without the need for precise recollection.The transition between sleep and wakefulness is a space where the unfamiliar and the familiar intertwine a moment of holding on to fragments that memory has not yet late fade. Each time we remember, the story shifts shaped by the vast opportunities that exist when no one else bears witness, leaving behind only a faint sensation or a lingering thought. Despertares places sleeping figures and the uncertain landscapes of their dreams at its core. Tiós distinctive visual language captures this fragile state, where reality and imagination merge, the familiar becomes abstract, and the boundaries between the tangible and the surreal blur. Dreams seem to hold endless possibilities for reshaping narratives, yet they slip away the moment we try to verbalize them. In much the same way as paintings resist being fully explained completed only in the gaze of the viewer.
