Interior Space

The artist plays with the infinite concept of the exterior space, everything that occurs outside of us that we do not know.

Her work captures images/fiction and sensations that seek to be translated and re-expressed through color, density, and temperature. The visualness of her painting constitutes an interesting result which, more than figurative, returns to an abstract technique of oil on canvas, incorporating spots, dripping, and organic forms coming from spontaneous gestures, as well as incorporating more traditional elements coming from design and graphics.
The subject almost always comes from a moment, it makes a transversal cut through an instant in which the sensation or image is perceived and from there, through drawings and notes, she creates and conceives each piece.

Join the Dots

Art show of 12 recent paintings.
This is the result of painting confronted as a “live” exercise – occurring on a surface, without complications nor influencing concepts, without a tale to illustrate nor a story. This show is freer and at the same time more challenging in its process. Each piece or module is in itself a starting point for an occurrence which will propagate itself in a chain.
In “Join the Dots” something happens within each module; we look at it time and time again attempting to discover what it is that occurs there. We find dots and lines joined, with their occurrence in each module, to the total proposal, to the concept that gives form to this exhibit, the joining of the dots.

Join the Dots recalls the entertainment of pen and paper which gives us the illusion of discovering a figure by joining the numbered dots, that game which final purpose is to reveal the predetermined “hidden” figure.
Dots are joined by drawing lines until making the shape “visible”, until “recognizing” it. In Join the Dots there is some of that “magic”, which, added to the complicity of the spectator’s eye, waits to be revealed; there is a starting point and an ending point, however, along the way between both, something occurs.
What is it? Join The Dots.
Carmen Gloria Machuca.

A estas pinturas les llamé Álbum porque parecen láminas de un álbum.

Colores que nacen como capas, a veces más gruesas, otras más traslucidas.

Todas mis pinturas nacen de una mancha o de una serie de ellas nadando en la tela. Sin el involuntario de la mancha no puedo comenzar una pintura. Todo parte del accidente que es la mancha.

"Un álbum se va completando de recuerdos brillantes; visiones y apariciones mágicas.

Trabajo silencioso, pintura presente y en ejercicio. El ritmo no para.
