Prudencio Irazabal

In Prudencio Irazabal's pictures, light and colour always work to the benefit of transparency, and are only perceived against the background of the white canvas. 'Omnia pervia', which means 'Everything is permeable/penetrable', refers to the constant change in nature. In Irazabal's work, this concept is portrayed  by the lack of a focus on which perception can concentrate, by the absence of recognisable boundaries between colours, by the multifaceted nature of space, and by the steady building-up of layers. Irazabal's painting is a silent challenge to the mind and the practised eye.
