El Origen

The word origin alludes to the beginning, the irruption, the emergence, the root, the source, the cause.

An obsession, a feeling of solitude in a world full of information, a playful zygote that transforms and participates in a changing or static material world that has made it reflect in its current moment on a new evolution.

In this body of work, the author shows the need to destroy to rebuild by means of the actions exercised on the shells used in each of his works: cut, drill, break, suspend, join, illuminate, among others. During this process, Gabriel sought to understand and affirm the evolution of his identity from the use of the “shell” as an element that hints at both the origin, and the different ruptures and reconfigurations that occurred during the different stages of his life until the present moment. Similarly, several of his pieces show patterns of symmetry, repetition and multiplication that evoke his close relationship with architecture and experience as a designer in the Middle East.

Beyond the different explanations that the author seeks to define his life experience, Gabriel's work wishes to provoke in the viewer a reality where he reflects himself through the mirror contained in his work.
