Light Boxes

She began to investigate strategies to her paintings and came to the conclusion that producing light boxes using special materials would give her the quality she desired for her contemporary work. She looked for transparent photographic films made to be illuminated from behind and printed them on plexiglass, aluminum or metallic paper using cutting-edge technology that allows her to obtain high sharpness, resolution and saturation. She then decided to subject the drawings to a digitalization process, to then transfer them, sometimes in positive, sometimes in negative, to the transparent surface and generate images with a clear surrealist genealogy. In this way, and enlivened by the backlighting, the lines of the drawing now appear as beams of light in an unprecedented resolution. This is the birth of her Titanes series, with which Magaly marks a milestone in the representation of movement using high technology. First, the negative pieces emerge, in which the lines of the drawing, when transferred, remain empty and allow the light to pass through them. At a later stage, the Titans will appear in positive, pieces in which the configuration of the original drawing is replicated in the plates, enhancing its expressiveness by the back lighting.
