... "Who have followed the artist's career knows that his speech Almeria artistic work is based on elements of nature such as sand, seeds, metal ... I mean, that investigates the origin Safi track end of things: as, materials and ideas they have for l an inside-a life-decoding for art. dreamer always, is one of those young people in the 70 bet Ibiza for a better world, "I like to look, and what can be that water is light-swept sand into the air that we see as Prpura unnamed achievements. These days, on the occasion of this exhibition together the collective peripherals, Safi asked dear for the creation. His answer, interesting and enlightening, we can summarize in the following words: The creative act is like the plants and germinated seed . Since the idea until it materializes. The seed is the germ of the process. The seed usually the visible and invisible, air and land races. What we read in these words is that Safi, assuming that dominates the world of textures, composition, visual fields, balance, tension, shape or color, what interests is that the contents occupy a significant place in his work. If we keep putting it on the idea that this is a poetic work with heavy load, we call the attention of one of its most recurrent motifs, birds, birds, or insects with wings, as a symbolic lic of that desire to elevate your flight to other areas: Baudelaire speaks of this in The albatross and elevation (one whose ideas, if they were larks / into the morning sky Lift your flight ... ), and Safi in bird tells us, and time or Stairway to Heaven. Sometimes he likes to take flight, traveling in a boat that boat called Island, a small sculpture in stone and rounded shapes that the artist identified with that imaginary place, friendly, where we find space for that. But there is also a surreal Safi is using a Ojo de Mar to reach other areas. As we have already, that the artist works with existential symbols, while interested in collecting the seeds of legends, myths, and cultural heritage, human history we were leaving. In this sense, his parchment sb drink found on the sandy beaches and the Genoese Mnsul or belonging to the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata, a convivial place for over whole year o. This vital fact seems essential to his work because today is conducive to Safi proposed owner of a rich personal signs. And is that these encounters with nature TELRIC (reef capricious, hills and beaches spent half moon), there will necessarily portray in a work that we dare to describe as reminiscent of magical, since no Safi we see a neutral art: the sculptures look if Isla Barco, Stairway to Heaven, or work as hard seed. Sometimes drops in his classic touch sb, as palimpsest, and the plasticity that works well as does visual aesthetics. In short, is the work of an artist who seeks meetings with poetry, without which there will be art-and ah, among others, his interest in exploring the icon in time, to project world from the symbol, the suggestion to offer works that are in the retina as Ojo de Mar, or Prpura no name.
