WHY WHITE WHY

 

My work begins with the need to express visually the sensation of living “in between”, as a neutral space, in the middle of opposites; between inside and outside, matter and energy, presence and absence, figure and non-figure.

An “in Between” sensation that becomes a sublime and unachievable tension towards a utopian hermaphrodite, simultaneous and spectral space-time, which plays the role of the interval that allows balance.

 

Since I begin painting, I have been interested in studying the essential elements of a painting (color, canvas and wood frame). I think for example, that the canvas not only serves as the support on which the color is applied or a drawing is done; it can also play the main role in the composition of the picture.

 

I started manipulating the canvas by cutting, ripping, stitching it, trying to reveal, what is behind (inside or in depth). In this way an " in between" internal and external spaces or surfaces, could be achieved.

Searching for space and depth, my work became three-dimensional with the canvas that creates forms and figures, and with a pure, essential and synthetic white color as symbol of peace, chastity, pureness and transformation.

 

Working with this ideas, I introduce in my work the theme of mistreated women. White sculptures were I combine ethic with aesthetics concepts. I use canvas and plaster to create female figures that recall beauty and at the same time they show signs of violence, pain and trauma.
