Antonia Ferrer
DESPUES DEL AGUA
Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better.
Succumb not to the snows of winter. Nor be bested by the heat of summer.
Be strong in body. Unfettered by desire. Not enticed to anger. Cultivate a quiet joy.
Count yourself last in everything. Put others before you.
Watch well and listen closely. Hold the learned lessons dear.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Antonia Ferrer presents Después del agua, his first solo show in Alzueta Gallery Madrid. Inspired by the textures on the sand of the beach after a storm, the artist has elaborated the paintings representing thick and pronounced scars. The storm itself is no longer there to be observed, what remains is the silent trace of what has already happened, the indelible imprint. Matter, composition and color form the basis of her technical process, an alchemy that takes time. What is born as an idea in her head comes out through her hands, in the workshop, with an immediacy, propelled by the restlessness of a continuously active mind.
