Diego Miccige | Invocaciones: maneras de consagrar el paisaje

Sometimes I reflect on the landscape as a living, pulsating terrain, a body that consecrates itself precisely because revealed borders are embroidered in memories.

In this journey, I propose to establish a dialogue between sensitive abstraction and remembered landscapes, perhaps a bridge between the contemporary and the ancestral. I am interested in exploring the surface through embroidery, ink, and drawing, seeking to create a visual proposal evocative of remote South American textile practices, reinterpreting their footprints and relaunching them into the present. The constructive techniques I create unfold a symbolic framework that refers to spiritual territories between dreams and constellations in their multiple details.

The fragility of paper, in contrast to the strength of traditional fabrics, allows me to expand the texture of these panoramas, reconfiguring them, offering a space for contemplation and a reconnection with the intimate. From a conceptual perspective, these works circumvent literal representation to invite an allegorical reading of the exhibition’s global environment, a topography of the depths that inhabit us.

I consider the abstraction revealed here a kind of vibrant plane, no longer a palpable expanse, but a spring of signs, memories, and stories. Within this sensitive relief, the horizon acts as a portal: a line of exchange between the visible and the hidden, the earthly and the transcendent, a narrative that translates the elusive into visual language.

To immerse myself in the contemplation of the minimal is to celebrate myself in the landscape as a living sound, one that we can construct and that challenges us by observing it from a state of being, where memory is not only what we have stored, but a present weaving that vibrates as a gesture and becomes a silent invocation.
