Dripping Illusionism 2015-16
Preface:
A spontaneous creative technique with no purpose of achieving aesthetic beauty.
A retinal manifestation of the unconscious and conscious.
A realization of the internal optical memory.
A present experience that triggers the living moment.
The first encounter with this new art practice occurred in December 10, 2015.
“... After having made my own canvases from scratch, one day I was running out of gesso, so trying to use the small quantity I had, I splashed some around and brushed it almost like trying to expand it.
A few hours went by when I happened to look at the canvas, finding out that the white gesso paint was very visible and distinctive from the darker canvas fabric. To my surprise, the space between them let my imagination perceive a different reality, observing the gesso spots as figures that I could easily paint.
My intention at that point was simply to allow myself to perceive in an unfiltered way.
Rising out a question,
Once we have been given a “shape”, what do we really see?
I compared it with clouds because when I was a little girl, I would look at them and believed they were all sorts of things.
Dripping white gesso paintings became a way of figuring out the most immediate response of how my sight and perceptive senses work together.
Not having any pre-established idea and not having any concern about the evolution of the creative process or the final result at all.”
Dripping Illusionism, is meant to continually transform the approach of the viewer that perceives these art works as well as it is to transform the way the creator conceives the paintings and after all, to open up a new door to a radical new art in general.
