Felisa SPOTLIGHT

A work of art began as a monologue by the artist, who escapes and takes flight, gliding to the four winds in search of resonance. In this scheme the corollaries of sale should be considered as a loss of innocence, a forced offering on the altars of Darwin.

What will have been the original monologue Felisa this time? She knows, but not in a position to speak, by natural law. And basically, it does not matter. Gives us his works, the rest is up to us.

What are the guidelines for exploration that gives us? Let's see. Individual and hooded faces emerging from a diffuse background, blurry and hard features, but not threatening. Vermilion flowers that add to the mystery, plastic phrases organized tetralogies trilogies and green and blue.

Landscapes water, drain streets entering a hazy background and bodies flowing to end in sharp, geometric, precise and mysterious at the end, we can not label them accurately, without lying.

And when we thought, following his trail, we had grasped the mystery, denies us the way with networks interwoven trees, perhaps obeying Einstein's admonition, in the sense that things should be explained in the simplest terms possible, but no simple than that.

The privilege of an artist is to transmute the commitment to the struggle for existence in an act of will, which is embodied in a reprimand, in a stroke color, in a note that echoes over the background noise. To do take risks, for support to complete strangers in the internal circuit.

In the background, giving us Felisa is just a moving target, and boomerang. And who cares. His will be done.

I was born in beautiful sunsets, Torreon, Coahuila, where I studied medicine. For 16 years I have lived in the city of Xalapa, where the art scene is strong here in the beautiful Xalapa I dominated the taste with which I was born, studied painting and a BA in Fine Arts at the Universidad Veracruzana and the Masters in Aesthetic and Art from the Autonomous University of Puebla, I have several exhibitions, group and other individuals, some are: In 1997, the University of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign in Illinois.En 2005, within the International Congress of Culture and Art City Puebla.En 2005, at the International Symposium on Aesthetics and Art Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana Cuba.En 2007, at the USBI of Xalapa, Veracruz "From the blue / without text". In 2008, Alba Gallery last in the Canal here in the city of Xalapa 2008 under the title "No target" since I can remember I like painting, at age 13 to copies of paintings from art history books, especially the Baroque period and made up mine, I also like to draw, if you ask me which is the management concept I can not answer I think I'm difficult because I have a tendency to pick up different styles and techniques of the past ideas and present. At first intensely enjoyed the chiaroscuro of Rembrandt and With the brightness of the windows to see me, I love and make a lot of nostalgia and curiosity still lifes, I wonder Francis Bakon and textures of Tapies. For me painting is something where playing magic but really there is a need to convey what words can not count. The way to get in closer contact with the nature.
