Wave of emotion #1
This is the beggining of a series of works focused in the energy that emotions emit and their expression through the language of colour (from my understanding and perspective).
Before this point I have always tried to crate works based on ideas and concreet images, thinking of what can be beautiful and liked, agreeable and pleasant to the viewer. But at a point where I found myself in a moment of questioning the place where my art was originating inside myself, I came to the conclusion of going away from my habitual path and try to find a new one. The form still there but in a sort of abstraction, not so bovious but more of a suggestion and oppennes offered to the viewer. Meaning: it is not important to offer a concreet message, but the work in itself is, whatever it can be.
A little background about this painting
I am a person who has a little trouble relating to my emotions and anything that is not so concrete or has an explanation, I tend to understand things with the mind, which means that letting go of those explanations is a difficult thing for me, but in an attempt of learning and building a relationship with the emotions that inhabit in e, I started this series of works where the color and the flow and communication between them is the main subject and also an attempt to express feelings with the use them.
Not to try to give an answer to a question not asked yet, but during the making of this painting I was experiencing anger and sadness at the same time. During the process of working with the emotions and trying to materialize them through colour I found the light-ness amongst the pain; the burden was not so heavy anymore and what at a moment felt so dark, became brighter.
This work is made using oil on canvas, later glued over pressed wood in a surface of 70×x 70 cm.
