A rose rests at the bottom of a red so intense it becomes a place. Is the colour hers — spilled, given away — or everything she refuses to be? Stripped of it, she turns silver, sculptural, serene. Passion and composure share one frame here, and neither agrees to look away first.
Rose
Rose (Rosa spp.), native to the Northern Hemisphere, bears layered, fragrant blooms and protective thorns; cultivated since antiquity as a symbol of love, devotion, and timeless beauty.
Reflect, conceptualize, plan, collect, select, position, illuminate, photograph, and work digital magic… this is how half of our artwork is created, the soul and essence, the image.
Measure, mix, spread, shape, wait, smooth, print, merge, paint, sign, and protect… now the artwork is complete! Photography and plaster. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
Nature that feels natural.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The artists play with the viewer's limit to recognize the photographed nature, they seek to suggest, to attract towards a bridge between the dreamlike and the real.
They make a study on sacrifice as a means of creation. The painful suppression of a part generates a new whole, a reality with unsuspected edges where subtracting gives us an unexpected abundance of beauty and visual interest. In a parallelism with time spilled in grey, boring or distressing moments that, in some way, give us a broader perspective of what it means to live and allows us to distinguish and covet the sweet stages.
Thus, in their photographs, the form faces a process of transformation, subjected to the dominion of light to be reborn in an unknown version. The volume is sectioned revealing silhouettes previously unnoticed. Different planes, different moments captured in the same vision.
At this point, the material aspect of the work plays a major role. There is a primitive emotional connection that artists ascribe to natural, earth-related, irregular and ancestral materials such as clay or plaster. This made it inevitable to embark on an arduous process of self-taught research, with countless trial and error until they were able to transfer all the power of their images from the screen to the plaster. Now, photography and volume merge into a single entity, in an unexplored materiality far from traditional supports.
