For
this process, I apply a wide variety of materials, such as acrylic paint,
acrylic medium, inks, pigments, charcoal, pastels, graphite, gold, silver and
bronze foil, stencils, paper, collage, alcoholic transfer and oxide powder. All
of these materials are layered on different substrates such as canvas, wood
panel, acrylic sheets, mirror, metal and paper.
The
amalgamation of elements allows me to reach textures and depths that are
difficult to achieve with traditional methods. JOSE CACHO
DeepArt
is a technique that I began improving at the end of 2019 after seeing the
fantastic work of Marc Scheff; It consists of accumulated layers of resin,
paint and other materials. Each application takes between one to three days to
dry. It is not until then that I can continue with the next layer. In between
each step, it is necessary to sand the surface to ensure the adherence of the
materials.
For
some of my works, I apply up to 60 layers to achieve the depth and volume I am
looking for. This can take up to 80 days of work and a lot of patience. The
result is a work of art that is located between painting and sculpture with its
own personality and unprecedented depth.
Limited
Series are unique collections. The technique used is Giclée, a print of twelve
pigments on 100% cotton paper or canvas. Each is individually intervened,
numbered and signed.
I
produce a limited edition of each piece consisting of five atelier proofs, five
artist's proofs and forty numbered works.
Some
people love listening to the artist explaining the meaning of his work; others don´t, they simply enjoy seeing it and
in some cases, interpreting it in their own way. There are even those who think
that providing an explanation for a work of art does not make sense since each
person evokes a different emotion when observing it.
It
seems to me that one of the great wonders of art is that it has no absolute
rules, so in my opinion, both positions are valid.
Up
until a few years ago, I thought that it was not worth making statements about
my work—that this was, in any case, the work for those who observed it.
Recently, however, I have found great satisfaction in spending time describing
what I think, feel and express in my work with others. I love to associate
images and words.
I
find a certain similarity between a visual work of art and a good bottle of
wine. Some prefer to taste it alone, while others are interested in
understanding how it was created and delve into the flavors and aromas through
communication with the winemaker and sommelier. At the end, everyone enjoys
wine in their own way.

you are interested in learning the significance behind my work, you can read it
in the following pages. Or, if you simply prefer to leave everything to your
imagination, I invite you to browse the images. modern art paintings
The
passage of time leaves traces; living things grow, the elements erode, the
materials wear out, everything is transformed.
The
accumulation of time is inevitable.
In
much of my work, I apply an appearance of deterioration onto the surfaces, particularly
onto the backgrounds. In addition to the intrigue, interest, complexity and
charm that I find in that aesthetic, it also allows me to share my vision about
the aging process. I understand it as the opportunity to accumulate knowledge
and wisdom, allowing us to fully reap enjoyment from the entirety of our
lifespans
Mosaics
are art by themselves; they have been used throughout history in many ways and
in various applications. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the
complexity of their designs, the repetition of their patterns and the dynamics
they bring to the surfaces where they are applied. They bring me back to my
childhood when on family visits to my Portuguese grandparents’ house, we were
surrounded by small decorative items covered in mosaics.
From
a symbolic point of view, the mosaics represent the enormous complexity in the
integration of feelings and thoughts that permanently descend upon us. In
contrast, the passive areas of the work refer to the moments of reflection and
tranquility so necessary in everyday life.
The
mosaics that I use in my work are designed by me; I make them one by one on a
tablet. With those mosaics, I put together different collages that I later
apply to my works.
