riflessione: il ritorno

reflection: the return

Questo dipinto fa parte di una serie di dipinti in cui le mani sono uno degli elementi principali dei miei dipinti. Mani in grado di dirci qualcosa. Proprio come il volto di una persona può comunicare molto, le mani possono anche comunicare qualcosa di concreto, dalla sua sola posizione o forma. Per me le mani sono legate al caldo, alla materna e alla sensazione di casa. In questo quadro cerco di fondere la mia idea di realtà con l'immaginazione attraverso forme. L'elemento che appare nell'angolo inferiore sinistro è quello che ho usato per un buon tempo per comunicare la libertà e il distacco. Si allude ad una nave ma non lo è. Infine penso che a volte siamo come marinai alla ricerca di nuove direzioni e senza rendersi conto che possiamo perdersi lungo la strada, che in futuro ci vogliono tornare.

This painting is part of a series of paintings where the hands are one of the main elements in my paintings. Hands that are able to tell us something. Just as the face of a person can communicate much, the hands can also communicate something concrete, by its sole posture or form. For me the hands are related to the warm, the maternal and the feeling of home. In this painting I try to blend my idea of reality with imagination through forms. The element that appears in the lower left corner is one that I used for a good time to communicate freedom and detachment. It alludes to a ship but it is not. Finally I think that sometimes we are like sailors looking for new directions and without realizing we can get lost along the way, which we later long to return.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

My name is Paola Flores, I'm 28 years old and I'm from Peru. I graduated from the School of Fine Arts in my country. I also studied a short career in digital design. I admire the great masters of classical painting. I have had the opportunity to participate in some group exhibitions inside and outside my country. Painting is for me a way of self-knowledge and expression. However I paint because I like to do it and it is what makes me happy. Throughout my years at the School of Fine Arts I learned to appreciate and experiment with the various forms of artistic expression, this taught me not to pigeonhole and to have a broader view of art. In my paintings, I like to use few elements, I think sometimes less is more, and what is important for me is what they communicate and the relationship they have with each other, I find it difficult to put a title or name because I feel box The tools I finally combine when I work the paint are the spatula and the brush. The spatula gives me agility and speed, while the brush, patience and detail. At the moment I dedicate a great part of my time to the painting and to the teaching, I teach to the little ones the process of the drawing and the painting. I think art can be a very useful tool for their lives.
