On this painting, Ibarra plays with abstraction, challenging traditional forms and limits. The paintings in the background offer a structured order, while "La Paloma" emerges as an ethereal and free figure, in complete dissonance with the rigid pattern of the background.
In "La Paloma", abstract art is manifested at its best, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a unique and personal aesthetic experience. It is a work that evokes emotions, awakens the imagination and leaves a lasting mark on the hearts of those who contemplate it. Created on paper with mixed technique with a dimension of 67 x 41 cm.
The spark of art was ignited in Juan Ibarra thanks to the inspiration of his grandfather, who brought him closer to this exciting world from his first steps in it. Over time, his curiosity led him to discover great painters such as Miquel Barceló, Tamayo, Felguerez, among others, which further fueled his fervor for the visual arts. Versatility is a constant in his work, which encompasses various forms of expression, from painting and engraving, to art-objects and, more recently, sculpture, where he experiments with industrial materials that give him new possibilities of expression.
Muralism also occupies a relevant place in his artistic path, since he expresses his creativity in private institutions. His work has conquered the eyes and hearts of the public by being exhibited and acquired in various galleries, cultural centers, as well as by renowned design and interior design companies, such as MarqCó, Mariangel Coghlan, Estudio Actual Gallery, Manuel Altamirano House of Culture in Tixtla Guerrero, Casa de Cultura del Bosque de Tlalpan in CDMX, Los Cerezos Gallery, La Escalera Gallery, among others. His path in art continues to be an exciting exploration, enriched by his constant search for new forms and expressive languages.

Presentation
The burning sensation conveyed by Juan Ibarra's proposal is comparable to the feeling of seeing cuts and openings in flesh. It is no coincidence that the painter inherits techniques such as frottage and grattage, which give his canvases an aged appearance. In fact, his work is adjacent to the European tradition that encompasses informalism and abstract expressionism. In this way, the artist aims to highlight the worn-out character of painting, as well as the range of textures and reliefs that literally detach from the canvas.
Somehow, his pieces speak of the pictorial disintegration that not only exhausts itself but also gives rise to an exposed process of material healing. Therefore, his creations represent matter in a raw state of cauterization and transformation. This aesthetic of decay is crucial to him as it exacerbates the fragmented nature of the materials he uses to paint. This is because he deliberately resolves his compositions and, to a certain extent, anticipates the ravages of time in the realm of plastic arts.
Hence, his art decomposes color, forms, and spaces, along with their multiple interrelations. It is worth mentioning that the artist works in layers, much like sediments of rock formations, to then intercalate and blend the background with the surface and vice versa on a single plane. Furthermore, his works frequently feature geometric and expressionistic linear structures that enhance the visual effect of corrosion while carrying an immeasurable dramatic charge.
