A tuned context listener inhabiting multiple perceptions to co-create system innovations. A functional aesthetics where sensible decisions follow the enthropy of the present moments. Focused on a process of organic minimalism that calls for the sophistication of simplicity to harmonize with space and time. In this purely geometric exploration, the process dances into universal laws concerning the engineering of creation, that which regenerates and reproduces more of it’s own nature. Geometric Archetypal precepts to reveal metaphors for a human experience towards true self.

Ivan Castillo Lagrange escucha y observa el contexto para idear y crear objetos que indágen la innovación de la forma y su conciencia cuantíca. Una estética de donde pre-existen los fenómenos de la materia ? En esta exploración geométrica el proceso baila con leyes universales que atañen a la ingeniería de la creación, de lo que regenera y se reproduce. Preceptos arquetípicos que revelan metáforas de la experiencia humana hacia ese ser verdadero que sin saberlo todos anhelamos. Centrado en la fenomenología de los procesos este minimalismo orgánico insta a la sofisticación de la simplicidad para armonizar con el espacio/tiempo.
Architecture of Silence
Beyond all the noise generated by our individual and collective neuroses, there is in all of us a space for silence in which our fundamental being dwells.
It is in this simultaneous dimension where senses are yet to be awakened, a realm feared by the thinking mind or ego. It is there where life is renewed and creativity continues to rain incessantly. This constant mystical present moment is the door that allows us to access the pre-invisible where form and condition gestate, that quantum field of energy. This is where we invest ourselves to explore mysteries of our wonderful and complicated dual universe.
The main motivation of this stage of my artistic expression has two fundamental axes: one personal and one collective. I look to inhabit space through a creative process where ideas are the axis of process, using universal symbols, proportions in conversation with materials with active molecules. Systems to structure to create spaces to calm the mind and lower the volume of the internal noise that keeps us from fully living the pure experience of the present moment.
From a collective perspective, we look for the observer to have a direct experience of the space towards that inner silence through tools such as the golden ratio, light frequency, active gravity, slow curvature; are some key pillars to harmonize and reflect on. The value of the pieces lies not only in their aesthetic dimension, but in their ability to harmonize and generate an experience of personal, subjective and free openness. This manifestation of the phenomenology of the process favors the synthesis and expresses from the essential the connection with the primary of the form, with the principles where the nature of the physical is gestated.
