About this artwork

Page 295 – – The mist of my dreams – My work is very much based on landscape and nature. I spend my daily life in close relationship with both. In addition to art, my activity is also work in the countryside, which provides me with total communion with the life cycle so expressive in nature.
When I received, “The Wonders of Plant life in Forest, Field and Garden, How Plants Live and Breathe – How seeds are distributed”, I felt (again) something very close to communion.
So, as the world is going through a phase as unknown as it is demanding, in which we had to adapt and collect at home to preserve and protect lives, namely those who are most vulnerable, I started working with a new tool, completely initiatory. It had a very harmonious function, it took my time, body and spirit very intensely. I gathered the necessary materials and without thinking I dedicated myself to reproducing images in Linogravure.
I spent days digging linoleums and gouging out my landscapes, details of nature, where I believe we can feel how plants live and breathe, or even the passage of the seeds. I believe that when we turn to nature and for its protection we save the world and preserve the species that inhabit it.

About Inês

My work arises from a continuous exercise developed between painting and drawing. An artistic practice organised without concern for exact representation and where, through my hand, balance in the image is sought between its conception and freedom of self-determination, where the pictorial image acquires its own language as a kind of free writing.

My creative process is situated in the moment – in the present, in feeling – and opens itself to the imaginary plane, enabling the creation of other images which become detached from their referent.

Ultimately, they may all be the same landscape; an image I paint or draw over and over again, but which is always begun with a fresh perspective. A way of seeing in which the physical and mental, the present and memory converge. On a plane where the strange and the familiar are blurred, giving rise to new landscapes.
Just like the mist that invades my dreams.
