Guzmán’s inspiration behind this series focuses on the pictorial investigation centered on the notion of progressive painting, understood as an evolving visual field where the image is not a closed unit, but a form in constant transformation. It is conceived as a dynamic force that changes from within itself.
Drawing inspiration from José Clemente Orozco’s mechanical and functional approach, which viewed painting as a machine of energy rather than a geometric composition, this research seeks to expand the expressive possibilities of painting by exploring tensions, pressures, structures, and visual movements.
Progressive painting is presented here as a hypothesis: that an image is not meant to remain fixed, but to continually transform through layers, friction, displacement, and resonance. It is not a style or a technique, but a logic of composition. It does not aim for a final form, but for a process of ongoing transformation, its own drift.
