Alicia H. Torres

“I manipulate in  this series of paintings the expression and the people’s gestures using the order and the apparently chaos of the stain with a minimum of line contours; layering, mixing and pouring light and heavy layers of colors with a radiant palette of reds,oranges, blues. and the opacity of the grays, blacks and whites to create a hybrid art form in any composition.”

The images are ambiguous, sometimes distorted to create abstraction. Splattering the canvas with a dynamic and gestural movements. I leave my desires, fears, hopes, dreams, idiosyncrasies which help me to capture my spontaneity and my freedom to continue working.

My goal and desire are to release my emotions and send them to the spectator in the same way I feel them, with the same curiosity of reasoning it out, decoding and evaluating them aesthetically, giving a message so my paintings speak by themselves without the need of words. I paint what I am. If there is something magical or secret that is it. I don’t want to copy reality because I just want to discover traits to be real in my own reality.

The symbolic abstraction of the universe, I look it in the small details to make my painting a gigantic piece of art full of forms, tactile qualities, movements and colors as like Louise Bourgeois wrote, ” Color is stronger than Language. It’s subliminal communication”.
