Watson Pablov’s artistic practice is grounded in what he defines as the Ontological Art of Form — an approach that understands artistic creation as the structural manifestation of being. In this framework, form is not merely an aesthetic configuration, but an active process through which consciousness, matter, and perception interact to generate meaning.
From this ontological foundation arises his principle of Polystylism, understood not as eclecticism but as a method of inquiry. Each stylistic shift, variation, or technique is employed as an analytical instrument to observe how form behaves under different visual and conceptual conditions. The coexistence of multiple styles thus reflects a rigorous analytical process, revealing the structural intelligence underlying the creative act.
The Work as a Field of Exploration
His work unfolds through organized series, conceived as autonomous fields of exploration. Within them, Pablov develops transitions in visual language that correspond to distinct thematic and formal investigations. Despite their stylistic diversity, these series maintain profound coherence through a consistent inquiry into the structural logic of form.
Watson Pablov Ventura García Born in 1976 in María Trinidad Sánchez, Nagua, Dominican Republic, and nationalized American, Pablov’s painting emerges from the observation and decoding of reality. His creative process oscillates between analytical and intuitive freedom, combining technical with conceptual depth. For Pablov, painting is the study of how form reveals the intelligence of being. The freedom to move across various languages and techniques is not a gesture of dispersion, but a structural necessity: a way to approach the essence of the pictorial act without the constraints of established historical or stylistic boundaries.
