Spanish term or phrase: pretendiendo que
Main problem here is 'pretendiendo que'.

""......that chance and spontanaeity complete the painting itself."

Si de entre todos los artistas que pasaban por mi mente he de elegir uno con el que mejor pueda vincular sostener y justificar la validez y autenticidad de la obra de Cardarelli es sin duda Damien Hirst, el Grande. Sin obviar en caso alguno los aspectos narrativos, retóricos y estéticos, ambos comparten la mirada surrealista y automática de la pintura **pretendiendo que** la casualidad y la espontaneidad complete la propia pintura.
