Patricia Daluz Galego

I am self-taught and I have built my universe, my know-how on my feelings, my aptitudes, my curiosity ..., formed by my pursuing gaze, in creation what my senses feel in art. However, some private lessons and advice from painters guided me in the technique. I think that to be accomplished through a creation is about the happiness of achieving what haunts our hands, our thoughts, our souls. Thus, concerning this disturbance which invades, the author who sees his feelings end on his canvas, finds a satisfaction which he experiences fully, then the spectator who joins, in the completed work, the emotion of a moment … That of the author during creation. So since childhood, I created, according to my rules and my approach, while respecting in line with my desires, aesthetics and pleasure, the joy of realizing my personality through my creations. The importance of feelings in art is the essential part that makes the work. During exhibitions, in contact with visitors, gazes resting on my works touch me to the depths of my being because in such a moment I feel a link with "the other" which brings me closer to the mystery of art, of creation and diversity, plurality of art. Art is a feeling… and I try to produce both. Technique & Influence: My style is framed, it is mainly abstraction ... a style that attracts me for its freedom because it disguises the factual, the visible, the exactitude and releases another surrealist emotion. I turned to the abstract and the acrylic after many years where oil and figurative united on my paintings or any other support. A certain weariness had set in, and reproducing what my eyes saw was no longer enough for me. The attraction was gone and I rarely painted. In 2011, on an impulse for Anaïs (my niece), acrylic and abstract entered my head for my greatest pleasure. Finally my painting has penetrated the fusion of my thoughts, my new ideas, my moods, through another technique. In the same spirit, the bonding and application of material, composite material, textiles and others lead my imagination towards other paths. In abstract painting, abstraction is a free vision that reflects the thought it gives off and that the creator has instilled. Thus, the abstract work born of abstraction is neither a replica of reality, nor a certainty, nor an error, it is… simply a view of the mind. The artist exhibits there in his own way, the expression through an art, his intimate evidences, his exercise of life. Abstraction has no abstraction. Miro, Klee, Kandinsky, Malevich, Ernst, Mondrian, Picabia and many others, at the beginning of the 20th century, understood and created the very essence of contemporary art, the "expression of non-objectivity": abstraction crossed with surrealism.
