STATEMENT Reinaldo Ortega Sardiñas The transgressor of contemporary Pop-Surrealism My work situates itself in the uncomfortable territory where historical iconography, symbolic power, and popular culture collide without asking for permission. I work from pop-surrealism as a field of visual sabotage: I desacralize figures, ideologies, and cultural mythologies to reveal their structural fragility. I am not interested in representing history; I am interested in intervening in it. I take canonized characters —political, religious, cultural— and move them from their pedestal to scenarios where the absurd, the dreamlike, and the ironic destabilize their authority. The image ceases to be reverent and becomes a field of tension. My language combines appropriation, conceptual collage, painting, and symbolic construction. I use the pop imaginary as a Trojan horse: it seduces first, questions later. The aesthetics is a lure; the intention is critique. I embrace contradiction as method. My work does not seek consensus or comfort, but friction. In a world saturated with closed discourses, I propose open images that force a rethinking of what seemed untouchable. I am the transgressor of contemporary pop-surrealism because I do not use surrealism to escape reality, but to dismantle it.
