Interview published in 2015 on PROJECT ART.10. David Magán talks about his beginnings and where his first ideas arose, about the materials he uses and their possibilities, as well as his references and the meaning that the use of geometry and the plane has for him.
“It is difficult to know where the original idea came from because, in my beginnings as an artist, a multitude of things happened, it was a time of creative explosion and pure experimentation.”
“For me, geometry is an open door towards the search for a universal language within art, where all symbols linked to worldly reality disappear and new visual possibilities are created. The different translucent planes of color offer me, through its possibilities of fusion, a game of chromatic events that break with the idea of a monochrome, opaque and heavy sculpture, to create a fusion between different languages: architecture, painting and sculpture. ”
“I was always interested in creating sculptures that are built from the repetition of the same element and being able to explore the infinite possibilities that this offers you, the plane allows me to reproduce different geometric shapes with which I play in space. I build in an orderly way structures following different compositional patterns. In a way I feel like a child playing with his LEGO. ”
