Spanish term or phrase: esencias científicas
Hi everyone,

Just wondering how you might translate 'esencias científicas' here? 'Essences' sounds strange to me. I was wondering about 'roots'/'foundations'/'references'/'themes', but was wondering if anyone has any better ideas?


'A partir de estos presupuestos y tras la propia experiencia creativa de diversos autores reconocidos que conjugan la plástica pictórica con esencias científicas, ligado a la enorme fuerza expresiva del arte flamenco y la literatura en un marco de nuevas sugerencias poéticas y visuales, cabe también plantear que surgen de un espacio concreto, Andalucía, que quiere a su vez establecer nuevas relaciones con otros ámbitos...'

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not to be churlish, but I think "principios" would be principles and "referencias" would be references.

Thanks! I think any of these responses would have been valid, but I like how this one still managed to reference the original Spanish 'esencias'
