Adrián White's work is a collection of encounters between ideas, materials and emotions. His drawings and sculptures respond to the notion of landscape in relation to the body, the gaze and silence. Putting the experience in tension with the image, his work always frames the notion of the trace as a poetic recurring theme to find other paradoxical ways of inhabiting and dialoguing with the world.
