Las mil maneras de imaginar: diarios visuales

Abstract

This paper focuses on the process of creating a series of art journals through various illustration techniques and the culmination of this work with an event for the mediation and exposition of the journals. Over sixty different journals worked throughout a two-year period will be presented on this exhibition along with a mediation process facilitated with the use of a tablet, where a digitalized version of the diaries will be shown. By presenting a conceptual approach to this creative process, a general overview of the art journal genre is made, and the work of three representative Ecuadorian artists is outlined. Finally, the work of Diego Molina Beltrán –author of this project- is categorized according to its narrative, sequential and morphological characteristics.
