CLAUDIA GARCÍA MORITÁN


 

Through painting I express what life offers me constantly: crosses and puzzles; dilemmas. A meeting between destiny and me, and where I choose to stand while facing the pieces this destiny throws at me, sometimes in total disarray.

Thus, I paint some situations with overlapping and intersecting images, others that complement or fit perfectly, as well as explosions, which plunge me into the creative chaos.

My quest is that of light. I try to highlight the energy or life force that often through unexpected flashes, enlightens us, even in the darkest moments.

In all cases, the common denominator is the reflection of the light observed from different angles and shinning unexpectedly, exposing the known darkness.

Technically the idea is to show lights and shadows, shapes that overlap or complement each other as well as colors. But always, the main character is the material –silver leaves- which is the basis of my work.

These lights and shadows depend not only on my intention to confront them or hide them, but also on the observer, to whom I invite to play the game through choosing his or her location while facing the piece of work.

The final challenge is the light as a road itself and as a way to overcome all darkness.
