The work is part of the Nocturne exhibition. The night as a background in this collection of paintings with plans and counter-plans and sets of mirrors. With his already unmistakable style, Cazares moves on recurring themes from his aesthetic universe: nightlife, interiors, jazz, train stations. It does so with a deliberately limited chromatic breadth, basically blues, ochres and garnets, which has an obvious narrative will.
The author introduces us to scenes like a kind of unfinished micro-stories. It is the spectator -perhaps voyeur- who intuits or invents the development of characters who, with their lonely and melancholy air, cling to the lights of the night so as not to pour into their shadows. , or perhaps to find a torrential love that saves them from the well. Or maybe ... wondering in the night.
