"Some say that painting no longer has the status that it enjoyed in the past and that it has been substituted by other techniques that are more advanced and convenient for the expression of modernity. Technological advances open up possibilities hitherto unimagined for the representation of contemporary art and culture, which in fact contributed to the gradual abandonment of the painting as the principal medium of artistic manifestation. It is barely taught in art schools: students have study materials in front of them that more closely resemble philosophy. Perhaps because of this, when we encounter works from a painter of essence such as Fatima Tosca, apart from the surprise and immediate fascination, some questions arise: can painting today as a cultural device manages to encompass all of the complexity of modern life? Can it provide questions and their appropriate answers, reflecting the thoughts and concerns of one facing life as it is today?
We examine the subject in the paintings of Fatima Tosca: the argument that a work of art, whatever may be the technique employed, uncovers all of the personal questioning of the artist, like a manifest of her subconsciousness. So we see fragments of the circus, of nature, of the feminine: characters almost melancholic and lonely bathed in light and colour floating before us: dreamlike reminiscences of symbolic figures. Despite seeming casual and disparate, these elements are joined to the idea of equilibrium through the conflict of opposing forces, of harmony arduously obtained by sacrifice. The nostalgic dance of the images refers to the “carnival of life” to the everyday strenuous but fantastic battle of the human condition.
Other signs of the action of the opposing principles that are in conflict are the processes of painting itself: the “impasto” used in the majority of her works is an aggregate of oils and acrylics, substances that are chemically immiscible that magically become stable under her determination. White, her signature colour, carries a unique and intense luminosity, and one can almost see in it all the shades of the palette. With disconcerting assuredness, Fatima sets colour against colour with her strong brush strokes, transforming density into an original fluidity.
From whichever point of analysis, the consistent and robust production of Fatima Tosca is marked by a high degree of identity. Seducing not only by the refined beauty and poetic repertoire; but also yielding an imponderable and precious quality, disguised by the apparent absence of critical concept; that subtle and provocative subjectivity, answering those earlier questions, because much more than contemporary, her work will always be relevant to the present".

Presentation
