A New Artistic Vision Comes to Light
"Cotidiano Entorno" offers a unique opportunity to experience Porras' distinctive abstract style, which captures the essence of Costa Rican landscapes and seascapes. The Costa Rican exhibition will feature 20 pieces from collections created between 2022 and 2024, including medium and small format works in acrylic on canvas, wood, and oil ink on PVC.
A Fusion of Art, Music, and Landscape
Deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Costa Rica, particularly his home region of Guanacaste, Porras' work is a fusion of visual art and music. He translates his lyrics into a visual language, exploring the landscape as a stage where humans mirror their environment, sharing similarities in form, color, and texture. His abstract style blends bold, block colors with ovoid brushstrokes, creating a fusion of natural elements and human figures.
This artistic approach underscores the theme that "we are what we live and where we live," exploring the link between habitat and culture, with a nod to ecological impact. His use of curved lines and geometric forms generates movement and compositional order, reflecting both the organic nature of the landscape and his musical sensibility.
Describing his creative process, Porras states, "My themes come from the visual environment; the landscape as a stage, resting on the horizon. Sometimes a protagonist appears, reflecting the daily life of the common person in a Latin American context."
A standout piece in the exhibition, "La Poza," exemplifies Porras' distinctive style with a compelling depiction of a man seated on a rock, gazing at a majestic waterfall cascading through foliage.
A Significant Artistic Presence
Porras' contributions to the Costa Rican art scene are widely recognized. His work has been exhibited at notable venues including the Museo de Guanacaste in Liberia and the Festival Nacional de las Artes 2021 in Puntarenas.
