Alicia Gimeno
Form does not have to be a detachment annulled from life, an isolated part of it. Gimeno believes that good art is that where form does not constrict the flow of life, the movement of the material.
In the ever-evolving world of contemporary art, emerging artists are constantly pushing the boundaries, challenging traditional notions, and paving their own unique paths. One such artist who has been garnering attention for her captivating artwork is Alicia Gimeno. With her mesmerizing monochromatic compositions, Gimeno explores the gestuality of the line and the power of movement. Her work has garnered immense popularity and is being acquired by collectors from around the globe.
Alicia Gimeno's abstract artwork is a testament to her deep understanding of the intricate relationship between line and movement. Her compositions, predominantly in black and white, showcase the dynamism and energy that can be conveyed through these fundamental elements. Gimeno's brushstrokes, whether delicate or bold, allow the viewer to witness the fluidity and expressiveness of her artistic process. Through her deliberate use of gesture and rhythm, Gimeno's work evokes a sense of movement and invites the viewer into a world where lines come alive. Each stroke captures a moment in time, freezing the essence of motion on the canvas. The interplay between light and shadow adds further depth and dimension to her creations, immersing the audience in a visual journey of discovery.
Alicia's work does not require grand chromatic explosions. It's not that color is absent, but rather that the artist simply doesn't need it to express through painting. Her intention, through the representation of her abstract calligraphies infused with botanical essence, is to invite the viewer to introspection, to contemplation, where one discovers oneself as part of a natural whole, part of a nature we often forget we are a part of. A representation of roots, to ponder how close we are and how close we should be to the purest and simplest aspects of the planet.
These paintings are not merely an exploration in the visual realm, but rather seek to delve into the energetic expression of the brushstroke through movement. The Qì, 氣, the purest essence, which also lives within us, expressed through the movement of the brush, the ink, much like in oriental calligraphy. In her studies of Eastern thought, Alicia delves into different concepts that she seeks to experience, portray, and comprehend through her work, such as Wabi Sabi, the flag of beauty in imperfection, or Ma 間, the negative space that can only be understood in its context.
