Cerasus by Rafa Mateo
Cerasus by Rafa Mateo takes a botanical reference — the cherry, Prunus cerasus — and strips it to its geometric essence. The work operates through deliberate reduction: circular forms, hard colour boundaries, and a structured grid dissolve the natural subject into pure visual rhythm. The result sits firmly within Mateo's practice of analogue-to-digital translation, where the tactile origins of a piece are subsumed into something precise, graphic, and quietly monumental.
Mateo's analogue-to-digital translation finds its fullest expression on canvas. The weave recovers the tactile, hand-made origins the digital finish smooths away, lending the hard colour boundaries and circular forms a subtle physical grain. This canvas print lets the geometric reduction of the cherry sit with quiet monumentality — still precise, still graphic, but grounded in material presence.
