Description:
Ana’s works are an embodiment of how color speaks the language of the soul, expressing deep emotions and connections through beautiful waltz of colorful fragments dancing through the canvas. Each of her projects creates a kinetic immersion into a sensorial world of colors, wherein the visitors become a part of the artwork itself. Her work is analogous to a tridimensional fusion of art, architecture and the dimension of time, which is added by audiences’ trajectory in space around the artwork.
This show comprises of a series of paintings made by an assemblage of materials added onto the canvas, creating heavy texture of layers, which Ana progressively manipulates in the confined areas. Color is added with an intended proportion and gradient tonalities which complement each other, creating depth and volume in the piece.
