“Mas en aquella soledad que cautiva la exacta arquitectura de los cuerpos que en amoroso reclamo rodaron por la arena y las aguas bañaron de pétalos y espuma, Despertó la voz enardecida del deseo”. J. A. Santano “…Como las aguas besan las arenas y tan sólo se alejan para[...]
“Mas en aquella soledad que cautiva
la exacta arquitectura de los cuerpos
que en amoroso reclamo rodaron por la arena
y las aguas bañaron de pétalos y espuma,
Despertó la voz enardecida del deseo”.

J. A. Santano

“…Como las aguas besan las arenas y tan sólo se alejan para volver, regreso a tu cintura, a tus labios mojados por el tiempo, a la luz de tu piel que el viento bajo de la tarde enciende. Territorio, tu cuerpo…”
J.A. Valente

No hay nada más aterrador que el desamor en la magia de Cabo de Gata; sin embargo, esa magia convierte al amor en el único infinitivo esencial, vertebrador de la existencia. Cuando este amor se cautiva en este espacio y se conciencia de lo insondable de dar respuesta a esta magia solo cabe la generosidad. Deudor humilde de su luz.
Entrar a este espacio insultante de elementos, de aromas, sonidos y silencios, sombras y luces es sumergirse en la magia ancestral, blanca y materna, telúrica y ocre, salina y húmeda de una memoria dormida que se abre y se reconoce en tiempos nunca idos, permanentes y futuros.
Si la luz no existiera no habría que imaginarla, es suficiente estar. Su luz blanca, lejos de distanciarnos, nos envuelve en una indefinición de volúmenes, contornos y tiempos. Quién sabe cómo se mide el tiempo de los espacios más próximos, lejanos. El blanco lo disipa todo y contrariamente lo significa. Aproxima los azules y ubica los sienas. Envuelve el paisaje en una esperanza de luz que licencia al color, permite su indefinición. Dónde el mar, dónde la tierra…, formas indefinidas vuelven a su significado, dónde los senos cartografiados, dónde humedad tórrida, dónde sequedad espumosa.
El blanco torna el ágata, germina las texturas en sus lejanías y las acerca. Blanco espumoso, lechoso y madre, facilitador seminal de mi amor.
Cabo de Gata nos trae el círculo lechoso, nos lo fusiona, colma el vacío de la nada.
Agradecido.

Manuel Alcaide Mengual is an abstract photographer. There is a constant tension in his work between figuration and abstraction, between imitation and more or less simplified idealization, and he attempts to transcend both the figurative and conceptual.

His aim is not to experiment with the technique but to make use of it. He doesn't despise the objectivity it provides, he just departs from it, he tries to transform it by providing a new starting point that the object also provides and that is there, offering us its own vision, approaching us with its own and so unknown blind universe

Mengual, Manuel Alcaide, was born in Cordoba (Spain). He currently resides and works in Seville. He earned a degree in history from Cordoba University. He has worked in a variety of foundations as a cultural manager and coordinator. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and has been included in several internationally distributed portfolios.
