IN THE BODY OF PAINTING

In the Body of Painting unfolds as an immersive journey in which Juan Tardivo transforms artistic creation into lived experience. This book proposes a passage through color, matter, and the city, where the body ceases to be a boundary and becomes a sensitive surface — a territory of tension, memory, and transformation.

Each section traces an intimate cartography of states, descents, and geographies, revealing a language in which painting and writing converge as a single gesture. Words operate here as a brush: they build, unsettle, erase, and begin again.

From our editorial perspective, this work stands as a distinctive artistic statement, where image and text engage in a coherent and compelling dialogue. In the Body of Painting does not merely represent artistic experience — it inhabits and embodies it.
