Quarantine immersion
(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.
