Conceptual Position
In Fox Hunting, AndrBel explores a bipolar cognitive perspective in which the act of pursuit becomes a metaphor for self-recognition. The hunter and the fox function as mirrored entities within the same perceptual field, suggesting that the subject searches for its own characteristics projected onto the environment.
This painting belongs to the Relhi series, where each work captures a cognitive instant in which internal states permeate external reality. Here, the hunt becomes a metaphor for identity, instinct, and the eternal search for oneself in the world.
*******
Fox hunting belongs to the Relhi series within the mio GESES conceptual system.
The work explores relational tension and symbolic pursuit within human perception and social dynamics. Rather than depicting a literal hunt, the painting interprets the motif metaphorically — as a cognitive and psychological chase between perception, instinct, and environment.
This conceptual approach aligns the work with AndrBel’s broader exploration of mental states as spatial and relational systems.

“I am not interested in depicting the world as it appears.
I am interested in how the mind constructs it.” — AndrBel
