Ian Molina Zoller is a contemporary artist working primarily with painting, drawing and pyrography. His practice explores the relationship between memory, time and the traces of human presence within architecture and landscape.
Through a slow and material-based approach, his work investigates images as spaces where past and present meet. Influenced by literature, cinema and sacred architecture, painting becomes a form of thinking.
His background in art conservation informs his artistic practice through both a technical and conceptual understanding of preservation. The study of traditional techniques and materials has shaped a close relationship with the physical and historical layers of the image, while restoration has opened a broader reflection on the ways cultural heritage is selected, preserved and transmitted over time.
