New figure, the PUPPET SERIES. I have decided to work on this character because it attracts me, it inspires me tranquility, freedom, sinerity. In my work, I capture the interpretation of his face without identity, characteristic in my characters. The puppet transmits feelings and childhood memories, this character accompanies us throughout time, generation after generation. Focusing the process of the work on his clothing, I try to capture in the character that mystery and charm that surrounds him, the information that he transmits without saying anything, only with gestures, leads me to the imagination of working the collage with different recycled materials that give volume to the work. Among these materials are: the strings with which it comes to life, paper and cardboard. The works are made by applying a mixed technique and collage on a canvas or wood base.

Josep Pozo is a contemporary Spanish artist[...]

Josep Pozo is a contemporary Spanish artist known for his distinctive approach to portraiture. Within his compositions, a notable hallmark is the deliberate uncertainty surrounding the individuals he depicts. Pozo skillfully draws attention to their features while affording viewers the complete freedom to construct narratives around the enigmatic personas he presents.

Utilizing a combination of collage and mixed media techniques, Pozo repurposes diverse materials to craft intricate textures in his artworks. In his notable "Puppet Series," he delves into the essence of character, evoking feelings of tranquility, freedom, and sincerity. His unique interpretation captures the faces of his subjects without revealing their identities, a defining characteristic of his artistic vision. The puppet, laden with emotive qualities and reminiscent of childhood memories, becomes a timeless companion transcending generations.

Pozo's focus in this series extends to the meticulous representation of clothing, aiming to encapsulate the mystery and charm enveloping the puppet. Employing various recycled materials such as ropes, paper, and cardboard, he imbues his creations with volume and depth. These materials, akin to the puppet's lifelines, contribute to the narrative, allowing the viewer to explore the unspoken language conveyed through gestures and expressions.

In the equally compelling "Clown Series," Pozo draws inspiration from the mythical figure of the clown, a character charged with the dual task of eliciting laughter or tears from the audience. Once again, the artist captures the essence of the character by representing faces devoid of identity, focusing solely on the intricate makeup that shrouds their features in silence and mystery. The works in this series come to life through a mixed technique and collage on fabric or wood bases, further emphasizing the uncertain identity that engenders a sense of intrigue.

Motivated by a profound interest in the tranquility and freedom emanating from the clown, Pozo explores a vibrant palette in the outfits, sparking his imagination to experiment with diverse materials in his collages. Through these captivating series, Josep Pozo not only showcases his technical prowess but invites viewers to embark on a journey of interpretation, where the unspoken narratives of his subjects unfold through the artful interplay of materials and symbolism.
