Alfredo Quintana Garay, Tintorera, believes in surrealist values, poetry, love and freedom, as weapons to “transform the world” and “change life.” He is a professional of irony. It seeks to juxtapose concepts and create beings never seen before; part of the study of human and animal anatomy induced by the misrepresentation of dreams. From the superposition of elements –analogue, digital or both– build reasons that give rise to impossible narratives where black humor stars. Chance is the starting point, the artist investigates any visual file that is within reach of his scissors (metallic or digital). Alfredo defines collage as a violent art and a poetic activity; start, uncover, cut eyes and limbs, pluck hearts, transfigure, deform, decontextualize, fix and paste. It is a romantic and dark therapy that shapes his obsessions.
