When the art Market permanently shuts its doors to your work, you have
to be very courageous to fight against that and open the slot which is yours.
Two art lovers were applauding my work last night, emphasizing equally its
energy and the great sensibility which emanates from it. I have often said that
an artist expresses him/ herself transmitting something, independently of the
medium. For me, painting is one more medium, but also photography, video, a
performance or an installation.
If an author/philosopher tells you that “your painting is much better
than Oscar Kokoschka” whom I admire, your self-esteem rises, if they comment
that they have travelled inside the painting and lived a magic experience, it
is a joy to know that you were able to connect with the viewer, transmitting to
him this energy, yours, caught in the painting, so as not ever to forget it. If
in addition, they pay you a compliment by telling you that in reality you are
much more beautiful than in photographs (where I usually look awful), well,
welcome the compliment. My thanks to the Orfila Gallery for giving me the
opportunity to show my paintings in Madrid, and thank you to the collectors who
were the first to acquire one of them, the “Naughty Woman of the Future”.
Let’s hope that this modern “woman” who has already found her place,
will also find a place in the impossible ranking of art.
Cuando
el mercado del arte cierra sus puertas a tu obra permanentemente, hay que
ser muy valiente para luchar contra él y conseguir el hueco que te
corresponde.
Dos
amantes de la pintura, alabaron anoche la mía, resaltando por
partes iguales tanto su fuerza como la gran sensibilidad que
emana de ella . A menudo he dicho que independientemente del medio
, un artista se expresa transmitiendo . Para mí, la pintura es un medio
más , pero también lo es la fotografía, el video, una performance o una
instalación.
Si
un filosofo escritor te regala esta frase "tu pintura es mucho mejor
que la de Oscar Kokoschka" ; al que admiro, te sube la autoestima,
si comentan que han viajado al interior del cuadro viviendo una
experiencia mágica , te alegra saber que has conectado con el
espectador transmitiéndole esa fuerza atrapada, la tuya, en el
cuadro, como para no olvidarlo jamás.. Si además te alagan diciendo
que eres mucho más guapa al natural (en foto salgo fatal) bienvenido sea el
piropo.
Gracias
a la Galería Orfila por darme la oportunidad de mostrar mis cuadros en
Madrid, y gracias a los coleccionistas que se quedaron con "Naughty
Woman of the Future".
Esperemos
que esta moderna " Woman "que ya ha encontrado un hogar,
también logre su puesto en el ranking imposible del arte.
