Her pieces talk about house or home as a private, intimate and protective place. It is like a second skin, a limit or barrier between the inside and the outside, between which is private and public, between ourselves and the world. Because she talks about the house as a physical and emotional extension of the individual, the fabric material is perfect for its link to the skin. The way she use the material, fabric or silicone, creates a feeling that shows that the important thing is not the object that is represented but that the question it raises; topics like the limits between art and crafts, the idea of art like something universal without genre or time, besides transmitting a poetical personal world.

She use Deleuze as a theorist reference, particularly his analysis of the Baroque from which the pleats`s concept is taken, she reflects on the pictorial representation. This exhibition is actually an exercise of metapainting (in speaking about painting from the actual painting) on a hand-made linen canvas, which becomes prominent by being a background and figures, therefore making a visual paradox. At the same time, some of these pleats are accompanied by moments or historic fragments from paintings (using Velazquez, Leonardo, Bernini … as references) occasionally making the elements that are normally not so important into prominent and meaningful elements.

Works from the pleat in baroque art and propose a reflection about the own pictorial representation, in which the canvas, sewn by hand, becomes the protagonist being at the same time background and figure ,finally creating a visual paradox. At the same time, some of these pleats used in historical fragments of painting (Velazquez, Leonardo, Bernini…).

Natalia Parejo

Works with wicker material used by our ancestors to create containers, baskets to store and transport food or objects, which is to say that first built, perhaps without them knowing it, a beautiful parable about the struggles of humanity to retain the ephemeral. The enclosed space against time. The art of basketry developed with rattan rods parallel to the development of human societies across the globe. It is synonymous with civilization. And nothing is more useful for the expression of emotion.

Amparo de la Sota

Works with small pieces made in crocheted technique and these are afterwards sewn to the fabric so as to form abstract compositions. This technique allows her to work without previous idea or plan. Her work evolves the monotonous movements of sewing hands. She likes the creative process to be very slow, so much so that sometimes it seems as if time stops. She find inspiration in the chaotic, but at the same time organized and repetitive structure that one observes in nature. She tries to place all this in her work and achieve that rhythm and movement, maintaining at the same time the sensation of equilibrium, serenity and calm.

She works in the search for images, colors and forms that express the joy of being alive. Her way of working is through the media of painting, amongst other more visceral decisions such as ripping, or patiently sewing the pieces together. This is the reason why her works are in constant change, sometimes they talk about silence , like meditation , leaving the mind in blind emptiness and sometimes the pieces fold and twist in an impulse to express that internal chaos where life takes place.

Maria Ortega

She works with the union of various artistic processes, takes her work to the fusion of various worlds, moving from graphic imagery through photography and textile to finally turn into sculptures. Natural materials such as raffia, silk organza and linen give the work a natural presence. With black and white as base colors the work has a sustained intensity. She closes in upon the small world of textures, looking for nuances in the shapes. Her artistic focus in textile art is the contemporary world that we are leaving.
