Lágrima de Nube constructs a delicate image through the contrast between a suspended blue form and a geometrically faceted drop rendered with precise graphic detail. The composition preserves a generous white field, heightening the sense of isolation and transforming the central motif into an almost sculptural object. The facets of the drop introduce a visual reference to mineral surfaces, while the upper element retains a more organic and atmospheric quality. In this abstract drawing, James Bonachea combines observation, synthesis, and refined graphic sensitivity to transform an apparently simple image into a composition open to multiple interpretations.
This series of works stems from the reflection on the value attributed to objects (metals and precious stones), established culturally and historically by society. By means of the two-dimensional representation where the artist creates a series of drawings that dialogue ironically with the concept of value, understood by the added content, I represent scenes and objects that are directly related to the idea of exchange and judgment fundamentally using a chromatic range that is associated with said judgment (gray graphite as a physical component of the diamond in another density, gold, silver and bronze as metals representing different scales of value), combining such materials by its chromatic symbolic quality. The artist I use the technique of watercolor on cardboard and graphite on canvas as a medium essential for the realization of this project.
