And in that minimum dimensional space, events happen, which, due to their relatively small impact, are not noticed; with my painted images I try to make them seen and felt. The duality in my painting is always present, the eternal combination of good and bad in each and every one, the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde within ourselves. We are neither saints nor devils we are a combination of both and this condition makes us humans, imperfect and yet beautiful and incredible. The main goal of my tragicomic paintings is to reach people’s consciousness’s by provoking a critical thinking process, searching for their reactions as a total being- neither pure sensibility, nor pure reason. The magic of art is that what seems to be an individualistic vision of reality touches and reaches the observer, who in turn observes and interacts with what I paint. Painting for me is a necessity." - Marianela de la Hoz We hope you’ll join us in celebrating an exciting opening! For more information visit: sipartspace.com
