DIPTYCH COLUMN FRAGMENT, RECTANGULAR FLUOR CORAL AND PINK Belonging to the exhibition "FROM STONE TO CANVAS" inspired by the cathedral of Granada. The work FRAGMENT OF COLUMN CORAL FLUOR COLOR is intended to simulate a fragment of the columns and semicolumns characteristic of the cathedral of Granada. The main color of the series "from stone to canvas" is white with all its nuances, a chromatic scheme all its shades, a chromatic scheme that, together with touches of gold, was chosen by the master from Burgos SILOE to preside over the interior of the cathedral. The collection includes colors such as black or fluorine tones to make a wink to another of my most characteristic series, the series "Pop Miami", creating a fusion between both series as in this work. Worked with fabric on canvas, the folds, gathers and drapes that during my professional draping that during my professional career in the world of fashion, I would use to design and make distinguished garments, are part of the world of art in this work, painted and sculpted, they become a semi-rigid piece that simulates the fragment of a column. The framing in black and gold wood adds exquisiteness to the whole.

Arao’s geometric sewn fabric paintings reference woven textiles and ethnic patterns from the Philippines, reinterpreted in kaleidoscopic fabric compositions. Fabric, a material that seemingly begs for human touch, is something we all have a level of familiarity with. Whether it is clothing worn or removed from the body, commercially bought, hand dyed, or recycled weathered canvas, Arao harnesses the tactility and multiple interpretations of fabric, often alluding to its central relationship to the human body.
