How many words get stuck in a woman's body?
Words that are not spoken out of lack of courage but are felt as a physical presence.
The bodies are punctuated by symbols —a bell jar, an oversized flower, a dark gaze, a light radiating from the heart. They are images of what remains in the body when it cannot find the voice to express it.
The painting is built on a corporeal tonality where the skin tones, the ochres, the browns and the greys create a continuity between figure and environment and the female body emerges as a fragile and psychological presence.
Through essential and gestural figurative painting , made of simplified anatomies and symbols, the female body becomes a place of tension to scream to the world what the woman can only whisper.
The node is the point where the word stops and the body continues speaking.
