About the artwork
Artwork sold in perfect condition
Elvira Carrasco is a visual artist and art historian born in Cuenca and living for several years in Valencia, Spain.
Her “Faces Project" is an artistic self-portrait proposal in which Elvira has been able to blend “Body Art" (the use of the body as an artistic support) with her facet of photographer. She paints her own face and then she takes a picture to record her work, which will be ephemeral on her skin, but will be saved in her camera.
Her work could be seen as the evolution of a tribal or ancestral art mixed with the self-portrait, used by many artists through history.
The color of her work shocks, but, if we look closer, we can observe the nuances of these colors, their quality, and their texture. In her eyes, you can notice another photography, like always, a window appears, as she works with natural light to get this effect. The interesting part about this is the location, the place where the photography has been taken and the sentimental value that it has for the artist.
Although the painting covers her face making it a work of art itself, through her eyes we can see beyond, enabling the viewer to get close to her feelings, and therefore, herself.
Her work has been exhibited in cities like Madrid, Valencia, Paris, New York, Tel Aviv, Eindhoven or Lugano, and she has participated in several art fairs such as the famous Art Palm Beach in Miami, Florida.
