Aizenberg, as Giorgio de Chirico, admired the architecture, the idea of \u200b\u200bconstruction, especially the architecture of the Renaissance. His work is permanently influenced by this fascination that reflected:
I am very interested in architecture, "he said, all you have to do with the three-dimensional space and not just the pictorial space ... which is two dimensional.
Aizenberg's work shows isolated towers, empty cities, mysterious and uninhabited buildings, rare polyhedral structures [1].
He used slow-drying oils for perfect finishes, high density and an unusual brightness in his works. Laura Feinsilber speaks of 'red Aizenberg, Aizenberg green, blue Aizenberg. " Aizenberg
used a painting technique in two phases: the first
, using automation to chance;
the second, excluding any chance, selecting a few sketches of tens and analyzing information generated by the automatic phase.
paid close attention to scientific developments relating to brain processes related to creation. Passionately studying texts on genetics and psychology and held extensive discussions with scientists such as biologist Daniel Goldstein.
Thus Aizenberg said, I think we
far above, we address all the activities of the human species without considering that the first is the species, the macro-organism whose designs do not know, that at most we vaguely suspect ... Aizenberg
severely criticized the use of models in teaching art. For him, model implied a "total stiff, anachronistic, totalitarian, in the sense of dependency of the artist to model, to the authority of the model, is the teaching of art." The model, Aizenberg, was the opposite of free expression. He argued that the essence of modern art was the absence of a model to copy or an external reality that should be imitated.
The influence of Juan Battle Planas was instrumental Aizenberg. Batlle was an unclassifiable artist emphasized the importance of surrealism and psychoanalysis, and passion stood in the center of the artist's activity, in order to use the energy operator as a catalyst of the collective unconscious.
