GOEN project. Acrylic on paper, 19 x 30 cm, 2013

 

The tree and its shadow, the flower or the faded plants, the small pieces of paper which are remains of a previous work, manifest a simplicity of subjects and materials to approach the essential relationship between the elements of plastic language. I contemplate at these things which in return give me their presence at this moment in their permanence or fragility.

 


 
Ce pays
froid
te fera penser
à autre pays
moins froid,
différent,
et qui existe
au bout de la terre
et duquel tu ne t'échapperas pas
même si tu es
à l' autre bout
 

Maria del Carmen Marengo
