(1085) Elena Blanco - Looking up
50
About this artwork
My proposal for this call is made with watercolor paint and several images repeated from the image provided. Due to the influence of this pandemic that is affecting our freedoms so much and also making us a little more lonely, I wanted to convey the idea that something new, different and I hope better is yet to come … It is the idea of the characters looking up. Also the idea of the duplicity of the characters refers to the various personalities that we can develop at different times in our lives. It wants to be a positive and hopeful work.
Empecé a hacer Collage en el confinamiento durante casi más de cuatro meses, en el Collage se unen varias de mis pasiones, revisar papeles, revistas viejas, olvidadas que nadie da uso y que podrían ser tiradas a la basura, me encanta revisar en mercadillos vecinales y después recortarlo y unirlos.
