Painting Exhibition, by Clara Buser.
“The Spirit of the Elements”
Contemplation of the landscape as a spiritual experience and painting as meditation are the starting point for the development of this set of works. The work is not representative of the landscape, but seeks to visually manifest the subjective state of experience that its contemplation inspires.
The colors and abstract shapes in the paintings thus seek to awaken in the viewer a state similar to that which conforms when faced with a landscape, that is, a contemplative, meditative state, a state of enchantment.
The pure enchantment of color, its fusions and contrasts, especially in the passage from day to night, are a source of great inspiration and the observation of movement and symbiosis of elements (earth, fire, air and earth) on the walks along the seafront during the sunset.
The work emphasizes color and the emotional impact it establishes with the viewer.
“Color is medicine”. The fruition and pure expression of color and its manipulation through the watery technique allows an almost alchemical experience in which the fusion of colors and their observation return to the observer his own image, in the sense that they mirror his internal landscape.
