Osvaldo Gonzalez’s works are marked by his fascination with spaces, and evoke the poetic idea of interior landscapes or the deconstruction of it. The media chosen by the artist is tape, a common packaging material, activated through the use of light to build a fragmented pictorial representation of space.
