Detail, The View, 2025, acrylic and glitter on canvas, 16 x 12 in. (35.6 x 30.5 cm)
Lajarin-Encina presents gags, vignettes, or situations that portray everyday scenes infused with a surreal, tragicomic atmosphere. The different formal and iconographic elements and spaces are organized as very balanced ecosystems in which the relationships between the elements create concentration, intensity, and a multiplicity of possible meanings available to the viewer.
The narrative elements are suspended in an equilibrium of uncertainty, encouraging the viewer to project meanings and resonances onto them through their own subjectivity.Therefore, the work is a meeting point for Lajarin-Encina and the audience to play together and explore shared speculative territories of thinking and emotion. It is a space for voluptuous sensorial derivations and analytical or philosophical digressions around and about our contemporary life conditions.
