Proyección 

‘Proyección’ by Martha Boto is made of oil on board with a minimalist aesthetic. She creates a composition that is both flat and spatial, through the layering of geometric shapes. Boto engages with the qualities of oil paint, manipulating color and texture to create planes of shapes. You'll notice the textures as well as the gradients she creates between tones. The brushstrokes are controlled and precise, giving the artwork a polished, almost industrial feel. The work of the hand is evident in the careful application of the paint; it's a reminder of the labor-intensive artistic process. Each brushstroke is a deliberate act, and each shape is a testament to the artist's vision, defying the mass-produced feel. Boto uses a formalist vocabulary, but this doesn't mean she's divorced from social issues. The painting's aesthetic of simplicity and precision resonates with a wider cultural desire for order and clarity. It is a potent reminder that the ways of making have significance.
