In the series of works collectively titled 'Soñé que revelabas' ( I Dreamed that You Appeared), Juan Uslé has created one of the most exciting painterly oeuvres of our time. As he works on them in the silence of his studio, Uslé listens to the pulsing rhythm of the blood in his body. Each heartbeat corresponds to one stroke of the brush, whose placement is to some degree a representation of the physical and mental state the artist is in. Lined up side by side or one beneath the other to form what look like strips of film, the brushstrokes visualise the real time Uslé "consumed" in making works. The result is a translation into painting of the artist's experience of his world and body.
