Andrés Lobato

You often speak of intensity translated into passion, and of a search for beauty in its highest ethical and moral sense; in a contemporary art discourse that has frequently problematized beauty as suspect or retrograde, how do you theorize your insistence on beauty as both resistance and survival, and might we understand your chromatic balances as propositions for an ethics of form in a fractured global landscape?
When all the layers that surround art are stripped away, what remains for me is the search for beauty in its highest sense — ethical, aesthetic, even moral. Not as decoration, but as a form of balance. In a context where beauty is often questioned or dismissed, I understand it as a form of resistance. Precisely because of its fragility, it becomes something that must be sought, even defended.
