"Sweet potato with an open heart", it is the new series of paintings and etchings. The sweet potato with open heart and with baby it is a metaphor of De Madona with Jesus of middle age, and also a metaphor of the Pacha Mama and Latin America. It is a syncretic alchemical construction. The potato represents the divinity of nature.
The potato and the sweet potato are everyday elements, part of our culture, but I want to use the sweet potato in an allegorical way to create a mystical connection in my artworks.
I’m Pablo Ponce. I was born in the city of La Plata – Argentina. There in my hometown I studied Scenography at the Faculty of Fine Arts (UNLP) where I obtained a degree in 1998. Right after that, I worked three years in Mexico as a professional scenographer. In 2012 I achieved my second diploma at the Department of Ceramics at Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam – The Netherland.
Since then I have been busy with extensive experience as a scenographer as well as an autonomous visual artist.Currently & sinds 2002 I’m based in Amsterdam. My art works have been exhibited during several individual and group exhibitions in galleries, art platforms and museums in Europe. I’m visual artist and I define myself as a Homo-universalis, such as the Renaissance artist, I work with different art disciplines to push the limits. See more information about Pablo Ponce
