"Saltpeter"

 

“Salitre” , by Capi Cabrera, is the proposal of VANGAR Gallery.
“The Canary Islands are a place full of contrasts. The beaches, volcanic areas, ravines and badlands of natural beauty are connected in a matter of minutes with the idiosyncrasy and authenticity of its streets, its customs and fluorescent beach towels. This is why this last year Capi Cabrera has undertaken a project connecting with simplicity, using painting as an articulating element of his fascination with the Canary Islands and its identity as an artistic driving force. The colours of the islands' landscape, blues, ochres and whites, together with the shapes of its ravines, the sea and the knowledge of the tides are tremendously inspiring contrasts for an artist sensitive to the environment that saw him born. The act of painting, the gestures and the material are simple elements, but tremendously poetic and attractive, a method of expression that generates languages ​​that convert energy into something physical. In this way, the pictorial work does not attempt to represent a single idea of ​​landscape or territory but to find, through the pictorial action and its color palette, a space of transformation and understanding of what is experienced."
