Carlos Herraiz works with materials such as wax, fabric, thread, and paper to explore the idea of the
veil as an ambiguous territory between hiding and revealing. The nature of wax itself allows the
artist to inhabit this liminal space and to point towards that intermediate place.
The process determines the development of the pieces: covering, sewing, layering, allowing the
materials to mix and transform. Wax fixes, but also blurs; fabric protects while letting things pass
through; thread joins fragments and traces paths. Nothing is fully shown, but nothing is entirely
hidden either. Each work remains suspended at the point where the image appears and disappears
at the same time.
The process thus becomes a form of veiling: not in order to hide, but to care, to slow down the gaze,
and to allow what lies beneath to remain latent. The materials, through their own qualities, set the
rhythm of the work and open small cracks where the visible becomes uncertain.
