Liquid Life N6 and N1, Diptych, 2024

Rosario Briones  

This artwork is a dynamic diptych, showcasing a vibrant interplay of watercolor techniques. Each panel bursts with abstract forms, where colors bleed into one another, creating an evocative dance of hues. On the left, energetic splashes of yellow and green contrast with deeper grays and blues, evoking a sense of movement and vitality. The right panel complements this with softer tones of pinks and oranges, interspersed with delicate wisps of gray. The juxtaposition highlights the fluid nature of watercolor, as forms appear both spontaneous and thoughtfully placed. The artist's skillful control of the medium is evident in the harmonious balance of color and space, inviting viewers to explore the emotional depth and subtle energy captured in this intriguing composition. The work celebrates the unpredictability and the nuanced interplay of abstract forms in watercolor art.

Liquid Life N6 and N1, Diptych, 2024 by Rosario Briones

From the series “Liquid Life"

Mixed technique (inks and acrylic paint) on 118gr Ahlstrom absorbent paper.

Individual size: 105 Height x 98.5 Width cm.

Without frame.

Signed by the artist on the back.

For this wet and random technique, the artist used absorbent paper as a support. The paper is cut irregularly on its edges and has minimal holes and wrinkles that reinforce the idea of organicity, register and line.

There is something hypnotic about the use of water. The artist tries to understand his invasive and expansive way, his little capacity for control, limits and edges.

The artist dyes the water with the dyes and drags the color as far from the paper as she can. The stain on the paper is constructed by the accident between water and color, a chance encounter that the artist only guides, accommodates and shapes.

The water capriciously does the rest.

In his work, the path of his body becomes shapes, and the shapes, an indication of the artistic process, directed by the emotion of his body. The paper collects that imprint of that moment, an echo of impermanence. The transience of everything is revealed in the artwork, a reminder that nothing remains. And yet, in that moment anything is possible. Water, color and your body come together in a creative dance that transcends time.
