Roberto's work is extensive and full of expression and the reality that surrounds him in his native country: Colombia.
ENGINES The revamped version of Roberto Escobar, is more formal games, articulating the visual elements of point, line and plane, in structures that express a kind of volumes that are present in the mind of the observer, who in turn build their interpretations from the clues given by the artist: garter belts, women's profiles, cells, pins, flowers, pods, kites, bicycles, scythes, sparks ... imbued all, as in parts of the previous series, in an atmosphere of perception of the absurd dotted with lights, shadows, frames and opacities, which enhance their songs told with the nobility of your materials: copper, bronze, glass and wood.
Occasionally, a line tracing horizons as their robots and traditional bikes that appear to make the trip to anywhere, showing only illusions. It is not important or the point of departure or arrival, the only interest is the colorful transparency of the movement.
