Javier's paintings present suggestive images evoking nature in which the viewer is invited to let the eyes and mind determine what they see, the forms visible in his works seem to be in motion, they are in constant potential to become something new in the human mind.
Javier Torras Casas is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores space and form through painting and sculpture. His investigations evolve around the symbolism contained in physicality, emotions, and mindfulness. Javier uses shapes, forms and colours to build connexions to the spaces he lives and works in, transcending them through spiritually and culturally inherited values.
Javier's paintings present suggestive images evoking nature in which the viewer is invited to let the eyes and mind determine what they see, the forms visible in his works seem to be in motion, they are in constant potential to become something new in the human mind. The paintings focus on different aspects bringing techniques and processes in close relation to the symbolic meaning of the elements, colours and shapes seen in them.
Torras' paintings are inspired by his direct observations and experience of nature, posing questions such as 'what do we, humans, want the landscape to look like?' The age of the Anthropocene has made the natural landscape dependant on human action, an action that is born in the determination and vision of individuals. 'What is the future going to look like? What do humans read in the signs given by nature? How are humans interpreting those and how are those signs determining their actions?'
