“My aim is to offer a unique perspective on the cosmos, drawing on both scientific understanding and artistic expression to convey the beauty and complexity of the universe.”
Hector M. Flores proposes the material and the immaterial. Through glass, he makes sculptures that seem to be solid statements about a material that is recognized in human experience as "transparent". He uses glass to create objects that are visualized as solid and liquid parts, obstacles and translucent parts that block the passage of light, as well as areas through which light passes, is intercepted, reflected and refracted.
His work is fundamentally rooted in his personal interpretation of the Universe's development from its inception to its evolution and changes, encompassing various phenomena and celestial bodies that inhabit it. He utilize the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of light, such as its propagation, and the phenomena it undergoes upon encountering matter, including reflection and refraction. In this context, he particularly focus on the interaction between light and glass, exploring how they interact within the space they inhabit.
