The symbol transcends materiality itself to signal another reality: there is a Chinese adage that tells how, when someone points a finger at the moon, the fool remains looking at the finger... “I believe that symbolic language is the one foreign language that each of us must learn” (Erich Fromm). Through this same language, my painting places some or many before the mystery of the natural order. The analyses and commentaries that accompany some of my paintings at www.jrtrigo.es will shed further light on this aspect.
