La memoria de Narciso 6 presents a visual encounter between two forms of value: a rugged mineral mass and a carefully faceted diamond. The vertical composition establishes a contrast between the natural and the refined, between an irregular surface and one constructed through precise geometry. Gray, black, and blue tones create a restrained atmosphere that focuses attention on the material qualities of both elements. In this contemporary drawing, James Bonachea transforms objects associated with desire and exchange into a quiet image where texture, form, and scale challenge our perception of value.
 
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.
