"A world of uncertainty"

By regulating the
space of the support, by weaving time in the coloured matter, the
artist exceeds the discrepancy between the practice of an abstract
painting and the design of figurative sketches. Ponce creates a
universe of forms, with bright colors, in weightlessness in its format.
The artist schematizes the landscapes around wide spreads of air, of
sand, of water, with a soberly maintened roughness . Its smooth, clear
precise oils seem to penetrate into the mystery that microcosm like the
macrocosm contains, that of creation starting from nothingness. Ponce
with his control of space, forces forms, interpenetrate into a rhytmic
play which one guesses essential. The plunging prospects, are rocked.
Everything whirls; balance results from the against-upsetting learnedly
adjusted for the plighting of troth of the composition. A world
emerges, full of uncertainties, half-eluded figures whose deformations
are the consequences of strange metaphors. The artist continues the
existential way which is painting, where the pain of research and the
happiness of the revelation both alternate.
