Gabriel Rico often draws on the aesthetic qualities of clouds, alluding to the possibility of dialogue and ideological freedom, core concepts in the understanding and judgment of works of art.
The works in this series explore various solid materials used for practical purposes, such as ceramic and glass, representing through them one of the most ethereal forms of matter: vapor. Giving material shape to a naturally abstract form, Rico seeks to maintain both its figurative meaning and its inner significance. The title references the materialization of the feminine, with the prefix “meta-” functioning as a universal assumption about clouds and their omnipresence.
