The Alchemy of Risk and Material Transformation
Fernando Zuniga's conceptual framework emerges from the potent intersection of unrestrained play and intentional risk. His work is a consequence of the painting experience itself, centered on the obsessive, poetic use of charcoal. This deliberate choice of medium symbolizes profound change: much like the mineral transforms under pressure and heat into a diamond, Zuniga explores how material and existential friction generate singular strength and total transformation. The resulting visual narrative deliberately moves around the edges of the rational and the irrational, always seeking the unexpected alchemy born from integrating these opposites.
Transcending the Edges: Art, Alchemy, and Evolution.
Narratives of Decadence, Conscience, and the Evolutionary Imperative
Through compelling imagery—often utilizing animal and pop iconography—Zuniga exposes complex human problematics, including cruelty, decadence, and the quest for conscience. Central to this critique is the dinosaur metaphor, a powerful signifier representing both the evolution of the species and the critical challenge of internal human evolution. This body of work challenges the viewer to engage with uncomfortable truths by inverting roles: here, the past comes to teach us.
