About the art
Artist statement
THE GARDEN
This new series was born as all the series: accumulation of the determined circumstances and links of concepts that speak of the vital experience.
The flower, the fruit, what is born and evolves, symbol of life itself, of energy, what breathes and develops, the painting.
It is through concepts associated with the vital and the feminine that "The Garden" proliferates in the figuration of different plants (lilies, chrysanthemums, roses, sunflowers or water lilies) that are conjugated in the expression through a vibrant, colorful, almost sonorous palette.
These plants and these colors are at the same time full of symbolism and even mystery for the artist herself. It is born from a main work called "Magna" where the "seed" is presented, which later conjugates the themes of women in another work such as "Lilicam". These works are the result of the search for iconological concepts, from the "Dictionary of symbols" by E. Cirlot, but then, without premeditation, evolve to combine an existential depth that refer to classic discourses of memento mori and baroque still lifes (Inma Fierro's work "Still Life").
The Garden tells us about Life: the smile, the spring, the first love, the growth, the sincere, the inevitable, the death...; always through the eyes of the woman, the female gender, the personal vision and the meditated discourse that invites to a reflective look, to an observation to think.
