Complexity or the Search for Being

On May 8, we also present the Artist of the Month: Norberto Fuentes (Casp, 1958). An extraordinary self-taught painter and sculptor, with a long history of national and international exhibitions, arrives from Zaragoza to make us enjoy with his sculptural interpretation of the prime numbers.

“Maons of arithmetic, the guiding thread of number theory, atoms of mathematics…. I looked at 5, 7, 97, and I didn’t see that.
I thought about representation. Yes, the problem I had is that the way we represent them, that we use, closed my way.
The Ishango bone, the Sumerian cones and a number of precious ways to represent numbers.
There are other ways to show the number, I discovered the Mediterranean! Go back to the beginning.
They all have a common place, unity. A being, a one and here is the code of interpretation of my way of representing.
Being and number. Their relationships and complexity.
For me it is clear that prime numbers are impeccable models to establish the basis of the complex reality that surrounds us.
They are colossal, exciting and very, very artistic.
I would love to have these works enjoy them like me doing them, even if only a little.”
