Welcome to Abel Gonzalez Art
In this page you will find content about all of my ongoing projects.
“Heart and Mind: A Journey Through Dreams”
This pixel art game animation explores the subconscious world of dreams through two core entities of the human body: the heart and the brain. Inspired by Undertale and Limbo, the project introduces players to a surreal, emotionally charged environment shaped by the inner state of a sleeping human.
The story unfolds within a silhouette of a body, where the heart and brain exist as animated sprites navigating distinct regions: Heartland and Brainland. The player journeys through shifting landscapes, avoiding nightmare creatures and collecting light, which symbolizes hope and good dreams. Along the way, they encounter emotional hazards, hidden predators, and dream fragments that reflect the mind’s vulnerability during sleep.
At the core of this world is the fragile feeling of being prey. The creatures, such as the Night Fangs and the Void Warden, are born from fear and chaos, existing in a space without hierarchy or order. The light becomes a refuge, a path to survival, and a symbol of the emotional battles we face when we close our eyes.
“Fragmented Pulse”
Fragmented Pulse explores the fragmentation of identity in digital spaces through a series of 3D animated mannequins. Each mannequin performs different types of content, from dances and political statements to viral trends, reflecting the endless scroll of contemporary online life.
Presented through an interactive platform inspired by TikTok, the project allows viewers to swipe through animations, emphasizing how identity is continuously reshaped by digital performance and repetition. The mannequins, neutral and faceless, act as placeholders for the self—empty bodies filled with meaning by each new gesture, each new trend.
By cycling through content that feels both familiar and hollow, Fragmented Pulse critiques the ways digital platforms flatten expression, blur authenticity, and trap users in loops of performative engagement. The work invites reflection on how much of ourselves we leave behind in the scroll.
Project Codename:”Fractured Memories: Learning to Remember”
This ongoing project explores the emotional weight of digital memory through experimental video. Using fragmented visuals, glitch effects, and layered motion, Abel Alejandro Gonzalez Pardo Vargas reconstructs the act of remembering as a fluid and unstable process.
Each piece captures a moment that feels both intimate and artificial, echoing how memory is shaped by repetition, screen culture, and nostalgia. The project draws inspiration from AI systems that “learn” to see and remember, mirroring the ways humans adapt and reconstruct the past through digital tools.
