Elaboración de un esquema que permita la producción de una obra en madera petrificada a partir del conocimiento de los métodos de producción del artista Antonio Cauja

Abstract

This work conceives to methodologically schematize the carving practice obtained through an artistic event which is materialized in the final artwork of an artist born in Guayaquil, who has developed most of his work in stone sculpting, Antonio Cauja, who has my respect and appreciation. I expect to compile his working techniques, proper of Cauja’s artistic interests, which conduct us to a systematic awareness of technical and conceptual abilities in the execution of the work of art resulting in the direct craving on fossil wood. For this reason, a descriptive motive will be held from Cauja’s personal and creative process of his poetic imaginary, inquiring in his experience with the material, his formation, proposal, economy and most of all his acquired knowledge through the years. Almost 40 years that define a solid artistic career of relevance to the arts in Guayaquil, and that allow, from the University, to give him a recognition in the field of the arts.
