The best friend is the title of one of the first thematic series made by Pedro Pablo Oliva. It takes as its center of attention a certain ambiguity that becomes invisible in many relationships of friendship or of any kind, where interests and passions, complex and guilty, remain latent beyond the manifest expression of the most positive feelings. The works in this series delve into suspicion, fear of the question: who do we trust? The colours, the isolation of the characters and some details in their looks and postures, in which they seem to entrust each other and protect themselves from the outside, however create between them a kind of threatening atmosphere, a paranoid reflection that encourages us to think if there really will be security or risk in those in whom we believe.
