Maite García (1996) and Manuel Puig (1991).
Born in Uruguay, currently living and working in Mallorca.
Anthropomorphic characters occupy their drawings and paintings,
like a kind of animated series that narrates
fragments of their own lives and emotions.
For Maite y Manuel, everything must start with
– a drawing on a sketchbook – the core
of their practice; in which they work simultaneously
and without speaking. In a rapid, chaotic rhythm
that somehow avoids collision, they embrace messiness,
imperfection and shared intuition.
Drawings from the sketchbook are translated into canvas
as a structure for painting and material experimentation.
They pursuit a kind of painting that appears
to be forever in motion, eternally wet.
