Avocado Pastel (Drawing Meditations), 2023.

Black permanent marker on paper.  40 drawings, 21x 13,5 cm each.

​

Drawing Meditations is the name I give for the practice of drawing as a form of meditation, in which there is no search for an outcome. In this practice, instead of looking for “what” to draw, I am just looking “to draw”, and to enjoy this activity in the present. In order to do that, I create methods, tools, and materials that will make the act of drawing by itself an interesting activity, instead of what of its subject, or what the drawing represents. This drawing installation is made of observation drawings of the Avocado Paintings, drawn after the avocado skins were dried, but before they were painted.
