Interview published in 2023 in Arte Realizzata, by Uzomah Ugwu. David Magán talks about his creative process, his references, the different media he uses, as well as the main themes he addresses in his artistic production.
“The use of the plane, color, transparency, and light is, indeed, a constant in my work. On the one hand, they are the central themes, and I like to give them a conscious presence, a deliberate and self-referential use in practically all my production. But at the same time, they are the basic vocabulary, the building blocks, from which I start to address other topics, providing another layer of concepts; they can be linked to research on forms -such as the Isometric and Hard-line series, research on the repetition of geometric elements-, or towards more abstract concepts such as perspective, transformation, projection, the physicality of light, the experimentation through physical phenomena, arrangements based on mathematical rules, the ethereal, the architectural or the interrelation of architecture with the object.”
“To this day, all these ideas are still valid in my work, with the new series that I am developing. They are intentional turns in my artistic career that try to broaden and enrich my artistic language toward new lines of research that seem to have no limit. ”
