Francisco Juncadella - Artist Statement
Argentinian artist Francisco Juncadella intricately weaves color, form, and scale to invite viewers into immersive visual narratives—universes where human emotion converges, resonates, and evolves. Born in Buenos Aires and relocating to the United States at fifteen, he discovered a sense of belonging and dialogue through art, forging a path shaped by multicultural influences and personal introspection.
Drawing from the Impressionist, Francisco’s broad, sweeping brushstrokes and vibrant hues convey a kinetic energy that animates each canvas. Simultaneously, the abstract language of Pollock and Kandinsky enriches his work with layered meanings, demonstrating how pure form and color can whisper hidden stories into the viewer’s consciousness. The monumental scale of his canvases further transforms observers into participants, immersing them in an alternative dimension that feels both vast and intimate—an emotional sphere where one can contemplate the hues and motifs in a state of heightened sensitivity.
In this carefully constructed world, recurring symbols such as eyes seem to follow the viewer’s journey across the landscape of the painting, reflecting back the feelings elicited by each composition. Influenced early on by MC Escher’s “Relativity,” Francisco remains intrigued by the merging of distinct lives and narratives within a single work of art. Through his practice, he seeks to unify people from diverse backgrounds, stimulating discussions and emotional responses that bridge differences and foster community. By inviting empathy, curiosity, and shared experience, Francisco Juncadella’s art stands as a quiet yet profound counterpoint to the divisions that so often define contemporary life.
