Four-part constellation, each 30 × 40 × 1.7 cm.

Part of the larger body of work Geografía Errante and the evolving CI~WAY imaginary, developed through processes of Sur[real]isation, [Artic] Puzzle unfolds as a drifting landscape in four parts.

Organic and submerged forms hover at the threshold between appearance and disappearance, evoking water, ice, skies, islands, and aerial views of the polar regions—as if seen from an airplane crossing the Arctic. Rather than depicting a fixed place, the paintings invite shifting ways of seeing.

Beneath these floating forms, a subtle grid-like structure emerges through repeated potato-mesh imprints. Echoing the logic of a map while gently slipping away from it, the pattern suggests coordinates that never fully settle. Across the cool palette of blues and whites, a faint yellowish cast appears like sediment or a lingering trace—less a colour than the quiet memory of one—drifting through the surface and subtly shifting its atmosphere.

The four canvases can be assembled and reassembled as two pairs or experienced as a constellation. Like a puzzle, their relationships continually shift, allowing fragments of landscape to separate, reconnect, and generate new readings.

Nature appears here as a body in constant transformation, shaped by ice, tides, currents, and cycles. Through echoes, traces, and latent memories, the paintings open a pictorial space where landscapes remain in flux, inviting drifting ways of seeing and imagining.
