Cells

The series "Cells" is a reconnection with biology from an artistic point of view.
Cells are the whole, yet they go unnoticed. The best example of cooperation and
coordination between different entities can be found in our own bodies.
The physiological processes that occur inside the cell take place thanks to the chemical characteristics of its different parts: polarity, density, pH...
Using different types of fluids I recreate in an artistic way the structure of the cell. Denser liquids to diffuse colors more slowly, less dense liquids to facilitate mixing. Immiscible liquids to give rise to defined structures, and miscible liquids to create more diffuse edges.
I use dozens of different inks to color the scenes, as each has different properties and allows me to create different effects.
Liquids, like cells, are in motion. Some mix, others crystallize, others expand. So each image is part of a living choreography. What better metaphor for what a cell is.
