To explore the work of Karl Fierro, brilliant artist and long history, it is worth reproducing part of the criteria versed Zalacaín Fernando Artieda and published in the catalog of art edited by H. Terán Mercedes
Fierro’s work has been breech of ideas, of deep human content of warm silences.
In the neatness with which he works his empty landscapes, landscapes of Quito timeless, as if it had always been there, caught on the tab of God, is understood a regamento of human life. It is the street itself, but a street where people have sweated.
It is not cleaning the box ready to be hung as an ornament, but a painting sunny, sweaty, lived.
But it is also painted crowds motley groups of people, enthusiastic procession, angry or holidays. The power line has been replaced by an objectivity necessary for the emotion is real, not pandering. However, Fierro Karlos characters are anonymous, have no face, they are unidentifiable.
Contribute to this increase in detail the concept of mass audience anonymous, group inequalities reflecting imperfect human beings only his rhythm, his presence and his attitude towards the world but without claiming individuality, rather extolling their solidarity, collective and therefore its greatness.
But it also paints individual men, single men. Here, however, there are no faces. Behind the painted iron. Beings torn from neglect. A gap of silence. The colors of an eternal poncho as the destination, the color of men’s traditional bun native Andean America, sparking the eye of the beholder as if a painless blood shoot out so much contempt for others and their things.
But Fierro, blinded by their sense of race and nation, go and look in zoology its most important. Thus the tradition of cockfighting is spilled on the canvas with the arrogance of the combatants in the fight crested multicolor. Parrots overflow its beauty, its auriazul, their red-green poisonous beauty, dazzling and fatal.
Karla Fierro his vessel berthing at a dock where people cries out irrepressible presence, honest, paradigmatic. The sincere artist can not escape this telluric line, inescapable reliable. It’s so young and creative perserverante has landed the port and has closely embraced the people that claimed to be present and pulsating live in each and every one of the works of the artists honored in the Fatherland.
