The “Avia Pictura” series is what I am doing lately, both sounds of birds and myself painting together, on real time. **About the “Avia Pictura” Series** 2019 and 2020 clearly sets a return to the **oil painting media** that forged David Moraton as an artist, but empowered by all the creative advantages of **digital technology** he has been mastering through the past years. A clear representation of this is the **‘Avia Pictura’** series. While in his previous digital works long render times were needed to obtain a finished frame, for these new works the artist wanted an immediate visual feedback. That’s why for the last 4 years he has been deepening into coding in real time graphics to build his own oil painting simulator: a tool that converts instantaneously digital pen movements and sound waves into painting strokes, with **physically correct colour mixing**. The sounds of “Avia Pictura” are recordings of **‘Tui’ birds from New Zealand**, who truly become co-performers of the creative process, blending their colours with the ones Moraton has applied, with a sometimes destructive interaction, sometimes collaborative. Clearly continuing the **synaesthetic** path initiated by **“Visus Sonitus I”** (a visualisation of Rautavaara’s Birds Concert for Birds and Orchestra, shortlisted in Lumen Prize 2015), this video sets though a different declaration of intention: it’s the immediacy and the performative process what he is interested in, how I react to his sensorial environment and how the environment influences the evolution of the work. Being done in one take, with no cuts, edits or re-times, “Avia Pictura” videos are ultimately a very personal reflection, a work that embraces the process over the final result, with the meditative state and the ‘real time’ life connection that comes from it” ## Sitemap See the full [sitemap](https://davidmoraton.com/sitemap.md) for all pages.
