The Mighty Soul of Colours
The most striking aspect of this artist’s work is her use of iridescent pixels filled with faces, movement, landscapes of the soul just explored by Tango. We are ensnared by a closed loop of passion while all around it flows naturally. The boundaries of shadow and the red light that swallows everything else are intensified. The oxymoron becomes a weightless step, the quick resurgence of a memory and infinite momentum over time, in places peopled by contrasts of red, purple and black, the circus and the theatre, and city suburbs. There is something that leaves the black to give form and life to colours as if they were offspring carried in every womb. The red swirls across lips, beseeching them. The day traces wonder and passion on bodies, a complete place where the identity of the wounded is lost and we open our arms to the frail and human act of an embrace. Everything supports the lightness of the bodies and there it is, the soul, under the colours, its being showing us our own. Standing there, in an emotion of mine ready to be born. Everything was there: swift, moving sight, the soft touch of light in the intense, free exploration of things. Everything is received like a fresh mounting of overwhelming energy, an inexplicable force that goes beyond the painting and the eye, and already becomes a threshold on this side of a dilated horizon. The figures dance amid the movements of the world and the tango sends a shiver up the spine, another aspect of the source, life that gathers us until the very end where the red rose is held by fingers that skim over lips. Exploding passions plunder hearts, one facing the other, and the artist’s rich emotions follow the moving bodies and tenacious light, overseen by solemn stillness. This strong, pleasing trait erupts from the core and collects every act of the performance. The choir turns and looks to us, meets our eyes, our something else, which in formless black acquires deep essence, rising from the bottom to the top, and a firm, light hand wields the spatula in lively palette choices.
