His pictorial language was born during his stays in Africa, India, Nepal and Scotland, Joan Pol developed an aesthetic sensibility linked to cultural diversity, rituals, connection with nature and spiritual symbolism. These experiences deeply enriched his visual imaginary and are reflected in his compositions charged with transcendental meaning. She works with mixed and informal techniques, exploring textures with natural materials, textiles, fibers, spray or dripping, generating a deeply sensorial, emotional and symbolic work. His essential palette is built from blue, ocher, white and yellow, also harmonizing purple and beige, reminiscent of Balearic esparto grass, forming a chromatic discourse that suggests calm, strength, silence and transformation. Each work is an archeology of the soul, his work develops as a continuous dialogue between materiality, absence and resonance. He seeks to create suspended atmospheres where the pictorial gesture intertwines with musical structures, poetic silence and oriental philosophy. These compositions invite introspection and propose sensorial spaces where time is diluted. His work, focused on painting but also extended to photographic exploration, has been recognized by curators and art professionals for its ability to unite symbolism and matter, and for building emotional landscapes charged with poetic sensibility. Each piece is a visual meditation, a subtle architecture of the soul.
