Cristian Zuzunaga’s journey as an artist began in 2004 when he started exploring geometry and the creation of patterns using analogue printing methods. Mainly using old ornaments and the weighty, modular letterpress printing shapes, his visual narrative is deeply connected with architecture and the way cities are constructed. For architectonic reasons, our urban environment is built using modular shapes—mainly squares and rectangles—forming grids and patterns. Cristian uses these motifs to explore themes of belonging and connection, examining uniqueness and the power of multiplicity through printing. His research focuses on ancient cultures that used geometry to express their cosmovision. Specifically, he looks at the geometric patterns found in Roman mosaics, Inca, and Pre-Columbian textiles and ceramics, exploring their historical significance and contemporary relevance. Striving for a deeper understanding of perception, Cristian is drawn to themes of identity, time, and the transient nature of existence. He scrutinizes the relationship between anthropology, architecture, and biology, and how new technologies are shaping the way we communicate, both in relation to our outer world and inner experiences. All these efforts aim to explore uniqueness and the power of multiplicity through analogue methods of printing. The result is an architecturally charged aesthetic.
