The drawings
«Figures of Humanity» is primarily a collection of drawings, but more accurately, it is a collection of caricatures. Caricatures with their own value not meant to mock or to have a double meaning. Each picture is solely focused on the form of the model and not its personality, its history or any other circumstance.
Because the characteristics and rapid trace lines traditionally associated with caricatures are lacking here, these pictures are not an arbitrary distortion, or merely quantitative. They are an exercise in the discovery of visual memory, a tangible logic for the perception of the forms and human expressions that they transmit. It is as if by modifying our process of perception, these figures then become more identifiable then the original version.
If we could carry out this exercise with any type of figure, the symbiosis between the picture and the vector of meaning that unites this as a collection could not be greater than the greatest figures in the history of the world. For the figures themselves, allow us to add value and timelessness to these pictures which try to live up to their potential through their ability to communicate and the visual memory they wish to share.
