José Wolff is a multidisciplinary artist who began, unintentionally, to be part of the collective imagination with the audiovisual work he produced during several years for the cult channel Locomotion and MTV Latino at the end of the nineties, when TV was a central element of popular culture; thus cementing the style of his work in images. Through his early works we can already appreciate that the artist's work invites to be appreciated in the daily life of our intimacy in an organic way.

Over the years, José's work evolves aesthetically as he begins to produce studies inspired by cult cinema, documentary photography and his methodological growth through collaborations with other artists, which is how eventually the artist's work jumps from the mass media screens to the gallery walls. Although forever evolving, his personal concerns are reflected from the conception of his work and are preserved over time so that they can be yuxtaposed with what he continues to produce. The work never breaks with the nature of its interpretation; as poet Clayton Eshlemand proposes, the images invite a harmonious embrace of what exists in our most abstract imagination in relation to what our mind perceives through the objects and forms we perceive materially.

Edouard Glissant proposes that rationality is only conceivable when we perceive past experiences through our senses and imagination and find the hidden meanings of the material objects that are in front of us; similar to that idea, José tries to re-dimension the material perception of places and landscapes and invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the sensory through the imaginings that our memory evokes alongside our lived experiences. The artist invites us to discard any Cartesian appreciation and demystify traditional historicisms to embrace the metamorphosis of our own experience in the contemplation of his work and perceive his proposal from a more open perspective to what our own experience evokes.
