Dispersión cromática 7

For the artist from Cuenca, colour and light are two key foundations of his artistic expression that, without a doubt, conceptually come together in the same nature. The predominant use of colour over the composition underlines the expressive essence of the work and with it, Asensio appeals to our emotional intelligence in a vitalist, solar and luminous way. This expressiveness causes a fortunate psychological impact on the spectator and, in turn, demands that he stop, at least for a moment, to contemplate. This instant stolen for the enjoyment of art from our accelerated and digitalized pace of life alludes, once again, to the nature of chromatic dispersion, but this time, as an undesirable effect that slows down the speed of information transmission in the fiber optic bundles that mark the pulse of our hectic contemporary world. The large-format canvases synthesize Pedro María Asensio's discoveries about colour, spatial dimension and pictorial rhythm.
