Creative process of Patrick Pettersson (Mexico City, 1970) is deeply rooted in printmaking, a craft that has ignited his artistic career. Depicting flora in often surrealist settings, the artist investigates natural cycles of life that connect everything on this planet.

In Punta Médica Collection, Patrick Pettersson is represented with several works. His triptych of paintings welcomes the visitors in the waiting area of Planta Baja. The three works, Visitante, La Llegada de las Aves, and Formas de una Noche en Vela, form a panoramic outlook into rich tropical jungle, perhaps a scene for one of Rousseau's dramatic paintings. Pettersson creates a collage of different parts of the day passing through the forest like distant travelers. Green leaves washed in daylight are painted in poignant expressionistic manner which makes them appear vibrant yet soft. Nocturnal parts are accentuated with engravings that cut through paint, revealing raw wooden panel. This combination of light and soft oil paint with brutal yet elegant engraving allows the artist to portray slow change of natural cycles and the changes that they bring to the forest. 

In the works of Patrick Pettersson, the sun and its rule over life on Earth often become the main focus. In his Tiempo Solar exhibition at Heart Ego, the artist drew a parallel between the sun cycle and the cycles of human life. His other work, presented in Mezanine's restaurant, displays the same floral scene printed in different ink. This overexposure too portrays the landscape in different light, or different parts of the day.

This focus on the sun is not accidental. Life on this planet is adjusted best to perceive time relative to our star. Circadian rhythms tell every living organism about the passage of night and day, while, on a grander scale, solar cycles control mass extinctions and explosions of species' varieties. By pointing at the changes that occur with the passage of the sun across the sky, Patrick Pettersson evokes in us the sense of belonging to that grander scheme of things, i.e. celestial mechanics.
