Visual Toy tribute to the Mega Drive console.
The consoles are for me magical objects that I could enjoy very little. My parents were against this type of entertainment, I had a clone of the Nintendo (NASA) very popular in Spain in the 80's and they left me very little time to play, very very little. On consoles like the Mega Drive I could only play at friends' houses for a while without my parents knowing. That is why they are an object of desire for me, something unattainable. This work is a reconciliation with that desire, a memory and perhaps a way to finally possess those consoles, close that longing.
In our era, nostalgia walks its own paths, consoles and video games being a trip to our childhood or youth. These consoles and their best-known video games represent a magical place that we know well, a safe and warm place in our memory. The artist also intends to elevate the console to a key artistic and cultural object of the late 20th century. This Visual Toy mixes all this with the unique style of the artist to create a new and unknown functioning object. A classic Visual Toy unique to the artist with all his imaginative power.
