Artist statement
José Zendejas Foyo develops a multidisciplinary practice focused on making visible what normally remains intangible. Through painting, matter, sculpture and action, he investigates emotional and existential states linked to love, memory, time, loss, waiting and disappearance. His work functions as an emotional archaeology: he builds, accumulates, covers, wears down and reveals surfaces to explore the traces left by experience. Rather than representing events, he seeks to materialize what remains after them.
“Materialize the intangible and reveal the traces of lived experience.”
