Painting consciousness
By Silvia Castagnino
Looking backwards I can see the image of a Wall as
an existential problem of human beings, statement of confinement that beyond
my painting was found in my mind.
If painting is making conscious what we think, if painting is talking /
thinking in images, these, were also spinning looking for fruitless exits
to somewhere.
I broke the concept Wall and I got out.
Once I thought that if the Wall is telling me about a trespassing limitation
it is also indicating me a possibility.
I have perhaps found this other possibility in the different points of view
with which I have tried to get around / observe the Wall.
The internal change is reflected in a re - signified image.
The struggle with matter, the draining of technical resources, repetition
in an intent to find myself through image, this is my internal quest, anguishing
and insistent.
Fear and desire go together in association; this is known yet we are not
always too aware of it.
Actually is in the vision of the audience where one sometimes really confirms
change.
Is in other's point of view where we also re- signify.
