Ana de Medeiros - Paintings Sculptures
Abstract, freestyle, gestic, informal, expressionism - acrylic, oil, watercolour, gouache and pastel. Sculptures.
Intention
New series "La chambre des couleurs", started 2004 and still in progress.
"La Chambre des Couleurs" which means "the room of colors" stands as a synonym for the life itself.
Ana de Medeiros started this series with the painting "Entrée dans la chambre.." (entrance to the room..), a painting the artist meant to symbolize both an access to life but also an exit.
Right after entering the room of colors - though slowly - a process starts, like a game full of naivity, on search, without experience, characterized by minimalistic painting in basic colors on a rough and sandy canvas which again reminds of her country.
...sometimes I have got the intention to have an image appear to the viever as unfinished or possibly disarranged...
Series "Dissonances - Dérangements":
The pictures of the "Dissonances and dérangements" phase have been created during the years 2002 and 2004.
The materials Ana de Medeiros is using accompany and emphasize the certain situation.
She often uses additional materials like sand, nails, salt or parts of plants to further intensify the special symbolic character of her paintings.
Derangements are used to bring poems on canvas. In most cases these are fractions of memories.
This series grew from the fascination for the beauty of
imperfection. Why do we love the crumbling plaster, the peeled off paint on old houses? They are giving us history, memory or imagination of occasions and the wormth of human life - in opposition to the rational coldness of perfection.
