Within the context of hybridization of genres in visual arts, over the last twenty years, painting has been the one redoubt that has managed to democratise consensus as it brings together all possible times, particularly past and present. Painting understood as the shared pleasure which Edmond Jabès advocated in his collection of poems Yaël remains a valid proposal whereby art is conceived of as a meeting point, a place for debate, a place where life may be discussed. That is the avenue that, to my mind, is followed by the painting of Xan Vieito.
