  Detailed Description : There are two very clearly defined forces in Pablo Tamayo´s work; on one hand he looks back in time, tradition and art history and on the other he tries to look as far ahead as he cans. These are two opposite forces that Tamayo tries to bring together with his work. Depending on how you see them they might be opposite to each other; but in his case, he struggles to bring them together, have them coexist and complement each other. Since the early 2000’s Pablo Tamayo has done extensive formal research, experimenting with a variety of techniques using cutting edge technology. Always working with a process, a language and a concept that reflects the times we live in and uses technology that in most cases was not available only a few years ago. His Works are constructed using a combination of techniques ranging from technology (computers, computer numerically controlled routers, laser cutters, vynil cutting plotters and video) to laborious traditional art techniques, like painting, collage, silk screen, printmaking and drawing. The two main bodies of work can be defined as figurative and geometric abstraction and both have clearly defined links by design with science, religion, psychology and spirituality. In the figurative portion of the work he works exclusively with portraits, considering portraits the simplest but at the same time richest and most complex way to reflect humans. It is a very elegant way to work with appearance, spirit and scence using formal artistic methods and means. “His geometric abstraction body of work explores the way in which the observer interacts and perceives space, volume and perspective. The work is designed to create a dialogue with the observer, it gives the observer hints and clues which he then uses to complete the work in his or her mind”.
