The works
Here you can explore the collections created by Yorwin Yermain Peroza Martínez. Each body of work reflects a different stage of his ongoing visual research.
01 Matter in suspension - the human dimension
Matter in Suspension – The Human Dimension (2025) explores the delicate territories of human experience. Each work, created on MDF wood panels, becomes a place where matter behaves like memory: layered, wounded, shifting and quietly alive. Influenced by the wabi-sabi philosophy, the collection embraces imperfection, impermanence and authenticity. These pieces embody states of being—wounds that guide, identities that dissolve, instincts that orient, constellations that sustain and transformations that redefine existence.
Materials & Process
Each artwork is crafted through layering, pressing, scraping and erosion, allowing matter to settle in its own time. The works incorporate mineral pigments, sands, aggregates, oxides, natural rope, nails, metal fixings and MDF panels as the core support.
02 PRE-COLLECTION: Matter in Suspension
Sometimes matter floats before it becomes form. It lingers in suspension, like a thought that has not yet found the courage to reveal itself. In that weightless space I listen to what the surface wants to say: a gesture arriving before the word, a colour rising within me before touching the canvas, a vibration softly arranging itself without the need for definition.
These works are born there, in that instant where nothing is fixed and everything begins to breathe. They Belong to a suspended territory where matter moves for the first time, and I learn to follow it.
In Glow in the Fracture, the paint still hesitates, yet it already reveals a direction. A thin vertical line of red crosses the surface like a quiet light, while the surrounding density gently holds it. Form is not yet form, but it can already be sensed, breathing between impulse and restraint.
In Geology of Memory, suspension begins to turn into terrain. Matter settles in layers, one over another, as though an inner landscape were slowly emerging. Circular marks glide over the textured ground, not to impose order, but to listen. The work floats between accumulation and ascent, allowing a memory to take shape.
These two pieces belong to that intermediate space, a moment before matter commits to form yet already pointing towards the direction that will later grow throughout the collection.
Materials:
Both works are created on canvas using acrylic paint; Geology of Memory also incorporates textured relief. The surfaces retain the trace of the gesture, the density of the pigment, and the quiet breath of the material.
