Jonás Riera Sanz

Altered States of Reality: An Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography
October 29 - November 19, 2010 Reception: Thursday November 4, 2010 6-8 PM

Press Release

Born in Valencia, Spain, and with a background in computer engineering and photography, Jonás Riera Sanz creates a unique art form he calls Fractarte. Drawing on the wonder of biological fractals found in nature, Jonás’ art portrays liquid energy that shoots across the page or canvas, resulting in sophisticated displays of symmetry and spirals, “shapes inside shapes to infinity.”

 

Inspired by modern and urban art, particularly Minimalism, Jonás’ hallmark is his pure, definite lines that give birth to distinctive shapes. These unique shapes emerge where you might least expect it, giving order to chaos — sometimes from sharp, unrelenting straight lines and other times from lines that curve and snake throughout the image. Vibrant colors catch the viewer’s eye as they dance across the page, at times merging and synchronizing to form a stunning vortex of color and light. In the end, Jonás pays tribute to the majesty of natural form, giving us all a glimpse of the “purity and beauty inside the lines, which grow in a perfect chaotic order.”


Artist Statement

Ever since I can remember I have liked both modern and urban art, especially Minimalism with its pure and definite lines. That was why the very first time I accidentally found the Fractal shapes, I immediately fell in love with them. The purity and beauty inside the lines, which grow in a perfect chaotic order, entranced me right from the start. Fractals are present in biological matter, and, with symmetry and spirals, are the most sophisticated forms in an evolving order. Small realities are part of a bigger ones. Shapes inside shapes, to a level of infinity. This is the inspiration for my work.
