The works of Ariel Tejera emerge from the symbolic surrealism that recalls the work of Magritte; three-dimensional wrapping images that challenge the two-dimensionality of the canvas. Drawings, clearly defined profiles, emblems that simulate sculptures, installations attached to a piece of fabric. Ariel, unlike Magritte, does not revel too much in conceptual hustle and bustle but rather prefers to give free rein to intuition, memories that remain hanging in memory, motifs that have to do with episodes in his life, events that are part of his biography. , his self-absorption, self-portraits, landscapes in which he grew up. Then he models the page - or the piece of wood - without having to design sketches, arranges the elements he has chosen for the composition of the painting, colors, stamps the pigment on the destroyed cloth, and fills it in contours, scribbles shadows, chiaroscuros, with extreme accuracy.
Like the work “to sleep peacefully”, an installation? on wood with embedded light bulbs, it returns the obsession of light, its mark. The self-portrait appears incomplete, cut in half while the eye observes. The imaginary nails hold the pigment; The snail slips between the cracks. Tejera's clear brushstroke summons the masters of the old guard. His languid pupil visits the work of Giorgio de Chirico, Ernst, Magritte and Dalí to then create suitable figurations and special scenarios in which he can sleep peacefully.
