The series Musical Interpretation attempts to interpret the musical vibrations through color,
shapes and lines. I usually listen to Baroque music when I paint, but sometimes I also listen to
electronic music or traditional Chinese music, as Chinese music has an important role to play
with its concept of silence and emptiness, which I try to capture in this series. 

The sound of light

Stromatolites are in the fossil record and are some of our earliest examples of life on Earth. I recreate sculptures imagining how these fossils would be in other worlds. Mauricio Paz Viola

“Nothing in the Void” opens a new path into the inner worlds of artist Mauricio Paz Viola. His images, colors and pictorial narrations awake in us dormant worlds in ourselves. We find ourselves naked to the soul, without conventions nor preconceived notions to invoke, and hence forced to come up with our own responses to our ephemeral landscapes.

If all the atoms making up the physical universe are mostly empty spaces, what, then, is our world but nothingness in the void? What will become of ourselves but amalgamations of atom-cosmos of constant movement and change?

I invite you to take upon this journey towards your interior, to know worlds we had known in our past lives and in cosmic visions…

The series, initiated in 2011 and in a ongoing creation process, shows my latest development in my own style and a candid search for the inner self. The colors awake sensations that invite the audience to roam the innermost corners of our souls and meet ourselves in a dialogue, in a creative interaction with ourselves.   https://www.mauriciopazviola.com/
