Description

There is tremendous beauty in the process of learning. In mistakes, in the enlightenment that one experiments through the discovery that emerges from trying to do something new. I have written about this previously in some other works and articles, but it is a topic that never ceases to interest me. I have always enjoyed to see the sketches that shaped artworks that one typically sees only in a finalised state. The letters that the artist wrote to her friends telling them about their vision, or their problems, or their passion. The broken clay models. The countless pages in notebooks filled with annotations. Throughout the development of my generative artworks I, as every other artist does, keep a rather large quantity of intermediate sketches, unfinished outputs, rough ideas, tests and other artifacts on the road to creating the "final" work. But the word "final" is a bit misleading. No work is final, and the only thing that exists is a journey. This piece is a tribute to that process. It is part of a two-piece set based on the road that took me from zero to El Inefable Momento del Colorido Descubrimiento, a piece I created for Art Basel Hong Kong 2022. I started from an observation on one of my little daughters' drawings, and coded as fast as I could towards the end result. These intermediate pieces talk to me in powerful ways, and I find many journeys not traveled when I look at them. Many things that changed. Many decisions that ultimately took me to the "end" result. End result? Not yet. Art is a neverending affair. Artwork by Marcelo Soria-Rodríguez, @msoriaro. 5120 x 5120 png composed of 9 sketches from the development phase of El Inefable Momento del Colorido Descubrimiento. Made with p5js, glsl and gimp to compose the 9 images into one.
