| (The
resources of the mind
in a surreal season) |
| . |
| After
an initial paralysis in
which the body found itself
only able to perform completely
physical tasks that ended
up occupying the whole
day and left the mind
numb: cooking, washing,
ironing, cleaning etc.
(I've never made so many
cakes in my life ...),
I found my way back to
the studio, the visual
artist that I am. Almost
unconsciously, a new phase
has emerged in my work. |
| . |
| Perhaps
I had the image of that
little sphere that is
the virus implanted deep
in my mind. I needed to
exorcizise it, turning
her into something beautiful. |
| . |
| These
works came to be called
Mantra.
Overlays of circles and
dots, executed in an almost
mantric way, replacing
the sound repetition by
the pictorial expression,
which conveyed feelings
of peace and happiness. |
| . |
| Works
totally different from
the previous ones, just
as my life is different
today. |
| . |
| Being
able to find beauty in
a frightening situation
was something that emerged
from within, from the
unconscious and that transmitted
a positive message to
me, whatever the outcome. |
