Fabrizio Del Rincón sees photography as a delightful vehicle for translating inner visions to outer
reality. The artistic process is fueled by an incessant curiosity and a passion for intuitive experimentation,
which manifest in a myriad of light, texture and colour. A process which the artist describes as magical,
being nourishing yet all encompassing. He believes his eager mind has found what his heart desires in
terms of both sincerity and originality.
In his photography, one can observe the influence of forces outside of the artist's control, which nevertheless
become defining, organic elements of the finished work. This is also photography in its purest form, simply
light and camera, rejecting the use of new technology, image manipulation and cumbersome equipment,
which affords Del Rincón's work a true authenticity. Light is Del Rincón's primary tool in the creation of
optical illusions which allude to a more personal form of illusionary vision. Del Rincón aims to transform
reality as perceived with the naked eye to create visual layers of transferred meaning, which in turn, through
their depth, create a sense of captivating fantasy.
His latest project marks a return to the body while simultaneously re contextualising it as a surface. Skin
becomes a canvas painted with the light from a projector. Cartoons cover female curves yet the transparency
of the projection enables a bleeding of both canvas and paint. Contradiction and paradox are rife in the
resulting visual tension yet there is poignancy in the unity of canvas and paint, body and light. The same
project explores other fresh surfaces for the projection of pre-existing images. Tree foliage is also
re-interpreted as canvas, this time for portraits of fallen Mexican revolutionaries. In this way the artist moves
between the private realm of the body and the public, re-contextualising Mexican history and
momumentalism itself. The past becomes present and enters the eternal cycle of nature, transcending time
and space. Visually the images have a ghost-like quality again alluding to childhood fear and fantasy. In this
way Del Rincón, who was born in Caborca, Sonora, Mexico in 1975, pays homage to the folklore of his
homeland, a mix of history and superstition, created this time in the Berlin night.
