The motorbike trial has
been the sport of my life since I was very young.
When I first thought about the possibility of coping the emotion and
beauty of riding a motorbike on a canvas, I thought it might be a bit
irreverent to the art, Could I use a technique like oil painting only
used on great art to paint trial scenes?
Looking back into the art story I could
find that Monet had painted trains, the catalan Ramón Casas had painted
bikes and cars. So I learnt that modernity can match very well with pictorial
methods.
Thanks to practising trial myself I could reach to far and unusual places
on the motorbike to do some sketching and photographs whenever I needed
them in order to trustworthy capture the moment.
The trial has given me a lot of satisfaction and also my other hobby,
the mountain trekking, both give me motivation to enjoy the painting.
On my work I intent to transmit the beauty of this sport
that it is practised out doors in the middle of the nature, big rocks,
water falls, colourful trees. They are captured in my canvas, to give
light, colour and movement to my painting and to show that motorbikes
and nature are perfectly compatible to become and excellent work of plastic
art. |
