Syncretism is a cultural phenomenon that manifests very marked parallels in the human being (as an individual and as a society), regardless of their space-time context. One of those parallels is the tendency towards magical-religious thinking, as an interpretation of “the other”, which influences my life and that of others who are like me. Through the interpretation, the magical-religious thought tries to delimit “the other” that is unknown, different and alien to the “I”, the “you, the” us “, because by interpreting the unknown it can be possessed and dominated, therefore the magical-religious interpretation is dogmatic, indisputable and obligatory, so that it can consolidate its dominion over the unknown. However, an absolute, immobile and closed interpretation leads to the denial of “the other”, as well as to renounce the possibility of knowing it in its dynamic complexity. the reaffirmation of ignorance in the “I believe”. on the other hand, the scientific and artistic approach celebrate the inability to embrace the infinity of “the other”. and that is why they manage to know and recognize that although “the other” is strange, different and immeasurable, the human being is part of it. The affirmation of knowledge in ignorance. “Sincretismo II”, 90x60cm, acrylic on canvas, 2021, #ugoartwork #mexicanart #selftaughtart #autodidacta #sinproyector #sincalcar https://ugoartwork.art.blog/
Digital hominid, “Darwinismo posmoderno. ‘Alienacion” automatica y monotona es la frenetica danza mental de el homo sapiens-sapiens, no hay tiempo para pensar el pensamiento. Las variaciones sobre un mismo tono suceden vertiginozamente, una tras otra, estimulo tras estimulo ……. no, no hay tiempo ni fuerza para pensar en el pensar. Es sumamente agotador el estatico movimiento de la alienacion … “ “Postmodern Darwinism. Alienation , automatic and monotonous is the frenzied mental dance of homo sapiens-sapiens, there is no time to think the thought. Variations on the same tone happen vertiginously, one after another, stimulus after stimulus ……. no, there is no time or strength to think about thinking. The static movement of alienation is extremely exhausting …” #ugoartwork #autodidacta #selftaughtart #selftaughtartist #sincalcar

the self-absorbed narcissus, absorbed in his hedonistic priesthood, exalted in post-war times; praised and returned to the banner of the rise of compulsive consumerism and the vertiginous rise of the mass media of the 20th century. He discovers himself with horror in the mirror of the digital media, as an empty entity, hungry for certainties, orphaned, helpless and bound in a city of repetitive and fleeting stimuli that confuse him; they don’t think about it, they think about it, and they accept it with the docility of the subdued and trained animal. narcissus put down the mirror, look around… el narciso ensimismado, absorto en su sacerdocio hedonista, encumbrado en tiempos de la posguerra; alabado y vuelto en el estandarte del auge del compulsivo consumismo y del vertiginoso ascenso del mass media del siglo XX. Se descubre con horror en el espejo del digital media, como un ente vacio, hambriento de certezas, huerfano, desamparado y maniatado en una urbe de estimulos repetitivos y fugaces que lo confunden; no se piensa, lo piensan y lo acepta con la docilidad del animal subyugado y amaestrado. baja el espejo narciso, mira al rededor Tinta sobre papel, 2020 #ugoartwork#mexicanart#autodidacta#sincalcar#selftaughtart#covidrawings #digitalpostpodernism
I consider drawing as a knowing activity. I share this little reflection that I made while finishing a drawing. “Praxis. Existence, experimentation, experience, the historical being” The isolated individual being, is paradoxical in itself, because it is the negation of nature that it tries to reflect in an idea, in an abstraction, in an analogy, in a concept … A concept, however abstract it may be, will continue to depend on the unbreakable bond of “the other” that exists. Because “the other” existing “is” that, that the historical being (or the sum of physical, biological, psychological, cultural factors, etc …) experiences, interprets and approaches towards itself. The individual being is a historical being, as its constituent parts are, Human “existence” experiences, generates experience, is praxis. Praxis is part of the development of “the other” existing ……. movement of nature …… “The question as a sublimation of experience”
