1965, Madrid (Spain)
"My most sincere works come out of silence. I like to work in solitude to impose the truest feeling. For me, painting has to do with the deepest part of oneself, with the greatest emotion. Colour and gesture rule. Then I focus on a selected scene from a lived moment. I superimpose images that I have placed in silent landscapes. I am interested in painting sometimes mixed with papers as cut-outs that fit together and enhance the colour in an intentional point. Movement is a fundamental part of my work, both in the brushstrokes and in the subjects."
Ana Alcaraz
