Artist's Statement - "Small Details"
Big things mark us; the small ones, allow us to continue. It is generally in the details where we can look for signals, where we are able to build our own hypothesis, to venture a world of discovery and to deepen in the understanding of what is really happening. When we let go small things, we stay in the surface. It is for this reason that Martin Gómez Alzaga concentrates its attention on rescuing precious moments difficult to catch by our glance because of the daily urgency.
With excellent invoice technique, Martin puts within reach of our senses forms, color and contrasts of nature granting them a great visual impact. This is his way to invite us to stop and to meditate. It encourages us to value the beauty of a flower in its apogee, the strength of life that arises in out in a soy bud, the magnificent abstractions that hide inside Orchids, the perfect geometric patterns that can be formed with a simple group of dry leaves or the apparent dichotomy that outlines among the smoothness of some flowers growing among arduous thorns.
The challenge that his photographs aim is to detach the world, stop it and then, play to reconstruct it putting together every small detail in away that will allow us to recognize the totally of the universe that surrounds us. Metaphor or pleasure, pragmatic activity or conceptual search, Martin always finds new ways to show us a different world inside the world that surrounds us.
