| A R T Composition of symbols, circles and spheres, geometrical shapes with right angles or amorphous spaces. All arranged in a way that depicts life in any form, in any way, under any mean. The elements are placed to give a message of LIFE. Figures which to some beliefs are very important symbol. Life is here, there , and everywhere, in right, left, high and low places and we could find it in lines, textures, shapes, colors, dimensions, figures and representations of stereotypical symbols. \ some surfaces might give a sensation of ageless or timeless atmosphere. artist statement An artist should have spirit. Because an artist needs spirit to have the qualities to escape from time and space whenever they harm his art. to cross over his own social and human limits.to create without any pressures or ties imposed by society and life. Through his works, EDUARDO BONILLA invites us to know his journey on his search in life, a search in which life itself is the main character. Some paintings might make us feel emotions and sensations that we probably have never felt in a while. Colors are immediately engaging, attractive, even. And yet, get closer, and the colors are not as simple as you might have first thought, color has depth, texture, complexity. The expression may not be literal or figurative, it may be beyond language, but it is certainly complex. His paintings are complex in their technique. This complexity is not forbidding or off-putting, however. There is always something concrete to hang your thought and attention on, the shape of a face, a horizon, doors, ladders, stairs, pools, moons... There is always something offering you a place from which to start, to begin to think about, to think in. |
