district (in San Sebastian), allowing the artist to produce his huger canvas : Cosmos Oceano, The Four Seasons, Maurice Ravel's tribute are some of them. Two additional 35mm films using a different technique, filming hand painting transparents, Paisaje inquietante Nocturno ("Disturbing Nocturnal Landscape") and En un jardin imaginado ("In an Imaginary Garden"), were completed in 1991. Since then, Sistiaga began working on a new film onto 70 mm celluloid with IMAX format : Han. Sobre el sol. Still unfinished ( only 2 minutes have been released), this film explores the cosmic iconography of stars and galaxies ; with this aim, the artist used two animation techniques : "direct film" (hand painted film) and animation frame after frame for fixing in the frame a form. Painterly and cinematic processes nourish each other in Sistiaga's works. The artist has been working since 2011 on a new typology of paintings on board, following Jackson Pollock's dripping technique ; this series is composed of two sorts of works: first, those which get the impact of the gesture on the board surface and, second, those which collect splatters or splashes from a distance. This strategy which aims at collecting on the surface traces of vital energy, has links with alchemical processes or for example interest of artists for magnetism and all other emanations of invisible . His films are part of permanent collections of eminent museums in the world : Centre Pompidou, Musée national d'art moderne (Paris) and Museo de arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. You can see Sistiaga's paintings at the Museo de bellas artes in Bilbao, at the Museo San Telmo in San Sebastian or at the Museo nacional Centro de arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
