JOSE-MARIA CUNDIN MACVLARIA (An Exhonerating Study for the Aesthetic Possibillities of the Stain) This project, “MACVLARIA” was born out of a consideration of the concepts of guilt and reproach, but in time and with the necessary extrapolations, the subject received enough definition as to allow me to formally shape some plastic examples that prove the viability of my proposal. The Latin word, “Macula”, means spot, stain, blemish, an irregularity that disturbs a surface. By extension, the moral application of the concept applies to the guilt and shame of the human character. We have been observing this since the time of original sin. My concern is with the visualization of the so called blemish or stain. The show “MACVLARIA” is my thesis, to open the debate, in which we may consider the stain as a tool or vehicle for beauty, redeemed from the fatalities of our visual life.
