Mirada Contenida
Last Thursday 3 was the opening of my exhibition by the name "Mirada Contenida" (Restrained Look). There are 13 drawings in oil pastels, pencil, cloured pencils and ink. The subject is about things I have as part of some collection. But they are not collections of precious things - even though, they can be. Rather, they are charged with feelings and memories, nostalgia for dear relatives or friends.
After the last exhibition, in which I used calligraphy and ink drawings depicting ideas and thoughts, this one is about things that can be toched and felt with you fingers. The still life is not something common in my exhibited work. I keep on drawing from life, it is something I like. One teacher once told me that a true artist had to have the hability to draw from life, so I kept on. But to show a group of still lives is something different. So that is the reason for the name, restrained look. The eye is focused in a liitle space that contains some known elements.
The tecnique is also of some importance. Oil pastels were used by me back in the 70's. I used to do work in coloured pencils during my training years at the university. As for the pencil and ink, they have been a constant in my work. All of them were perfecf to the task, to draw my stuff.
For the time being, I'll keep with the subject. I have to go further, I want to explore much more things I have to try to outcast the spell they have on me.
