Vicente Grondona was born in Buenos Aires in 1977. He studied at the School of Fine Arts, Prilidiano Pueyrredón. Grondona reflects the importance and protagonism of material in his work, which is constantly related to its natural origin. His paintings and sculptures share the common nexus of nature as both a medium and a mediator of the message.
The recurring use of raw materials, such as charcoal, breaks the tension between the classic and the contemporary. Grondona projects his work, his landscapes, and his universe, reflecting his ideas with great intensity.
Based on an impressionist line for his paintings, he portrays the landscapes of the Pampas countryside or the Paraná rivers just as they are seen, but at the same time, he reveals the invisible, exposing an intimate landscape of his inner reality. His works are infused with psychedelic flashes due to the vibrant colors he implements.
Time is a fundamental element in the conception of his production. His work wanders through the remains of a splendid past while simultaneously confronting the tensions of the present.
Not only does his work draw from the formal aspects of European artistic movements of the 18th and 19th centuries, combining them with current techniques such as chlorine with oil or charcoal with pure pigment and epoxy, but it also portrays timeless spaces free of civil engineering, unveiling human purity.
