ANOPHELES
ANOPHELES is a body of work, consisting of sculptural installations and drawing in varied scales, commissioned by Maneu Art gallery in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
​
​In the sculpture Anopheles, the insect is shown in a two hundred times increased size, offering a more watchful observation of the beauty of its shape, in contradiction with the frightful menace of the insect. In an odd concept of heredity, human figures will be reduced to an insect colony, reminding us of our parasitical attitude towards the environment. The project is also a reflection on transmission, heredity and human condition from an singular perspective. The medical definition of Transmission is: “ transfer or conveyance of a thing or condition, such as an infectious or genetic disease from one person to another, or hereditary trait from parent to offspring.”
​
This multidisciplinary project consisted of works in resin, fibreglass, plaster, porcelain, silver and iron. The artworks featured in several catalogues and group shows: “ Nuevas presencias 09“ , “Objects & Graphics“ and “ XIX Drawing contest Gregorio Prieto”.
