Fausto Amundarain
(*1992 in Caracas, Venezuela, lives and works in Madrid)
Fausto Amundarain’s practice draws from a broad range of visual sources, with particular attention to fragments of comics and caricatures. These elements, charged with cultural memory and nostalgia, become material for a reflection on collective imagery and its transformation. Amundarain collects, dissects, and reorganizes these visual signs not as mere quotations, but as building blocks for new compositions. His works often appear dense and saturated, forming visual “spaces” where images intersect, clash, and dissolve into one another. Within these dynamic constellations, meaning is both constructed and destabilized, opening pathways toward new narratives. Through processes of addition and erasure, the artist manipulates line and structure to dismantle and recompose the original image. What once carried a fixed context is reconfigured into a fluid system of forms and references. Amundarain’s work thus operates as a site of transformation—where the familiar becomes unstable and the act of seeing is continually renegotiated.
