This work is the last of a series of 3 works in total titled Magnesia. Magnesia represents a primary state in which main and active elements are mobilized to carry out the alchemical work. The series is made using the traditional leaded stained glass technique, the same one used in medieval cathedrals, a technique that has changed very little in its way of being produced since those times. The language and the compositional elements refer to a current aesthetic, taking expressive elements from street art, calligraphy and graphic design, seeking expressiveness and transmitting at the same time that rawness and spontaneity that the first medieval and historical stained glass windows had, strength and energy that it was lost with the following years, including today.
The work can be included and intended to be included on a wall or window, or it can be displayed in a light box as shown in most museums that collect stained glass windows. The incidence of light must be taken into account for the appreciation of a work in stained glass, since glass is a transparent material.

Willy Blanco is a contemporary Argentinian stained glass artist with a unique and innovative approach to this age-old craft. Throughout his career, Blanco has undertaken an intense aesthetic exploration, pushing the boundaries of stained glass techniques to create artistic objects that transcend historical confines. His work represents a fusion of tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from various artistic genres, resulting in a captivating temporal anachronism.

From the outset of his journey in stained glass art, Willy Blanco exhibited an unrelenting curiosity and a desire to challenge the conventions of this ancient craft. He embarked on a mission to decontextualize stained glass, liberating it from its historical baggage and reimagining it as a medium for artistic expression. This endeavor has been the driving force behind his artistic evolution.

Blanco's quest to transform stained glass into an artistic object led to the creation of a new visual language, one that marries the medieval roots of the craft with contemporary sensibilities. His works are a testament to the temporal anachronism he has crafted, invoking aesthetics ranging from the grandeur of Gothic art to the bold strokes of calligraffiti, from the raw energy of urban art to the precision of graphic aesthetics, and from the abstract expressions of modernism to visions of industrial dystopian paradises. This diversity reflects his dedication to pushing the boundaries of what stained glass can convey.

At the heart of Blanco's identity as an artist is his expressive and spontaneous use of grisaille, enamels with a history dating back to the time of cathedrals. The technique involves subjecting the glass to high temperatures, resulting in intricate and ethereal patterns. Blanco's mastery of this ancient craft allows him to infuse his works with a unique and evocative quality, where light and shadow dance across his creations, adding depth and dimension to his pieces.
