Curatorial Description
In Language of the Sun , a visual symphony is proposed where geometry becomes a sign, and color becomes voice. The work unfolds against an intense, almost solar-like golden background, suggesting radiance, warmth, and frozen time. This vibrant plane acts as a semantic field from which figures emerge, evoking archaic alphabets or contemporary glyphs.
The use of black, red, and gold leaf coexists with a tensely balanced composition, where each shape seems to carry symbolic weight: there is no ornamentation, only intention. The elements are not only spatially distributed, but also construct a visual grammar reminiscent of both Eastern calligraphy and pre-Columbian pictograms.
The title, Language of the Sun , points to the notion of a primordial, luminous, perhaps lost language, which can only be evoked through art. Gold not only decorates: it communicates. It does so through its irregular texture and broken surface, as if a metaphor for the fragmented sacred, for the solar memory that still shines in the shadows.
True to his style, ORENDAIN explores the boundaries between the spiritual and the material, between symbolism and abstraction, between the ancestral and the contemporary. This work clearly falls within his most conceptual output, where each visual element can be read as a geometric poem.
