Ghosts of the Natural World: The Paintings of Elena Gastón Nicolás

Utilizing the plastic, relatively sculptural colors of acrylics, and additionally the more old-excellent mode of oils, Elena Gastón Nicolás depicts universes inside universes, as subtle elements come to incorporate inside themselves the logical wholes from whence they infer. Regularly concentrating on otherworldly or supernatural subjects, her depictions of profound procedures have come to stamp an extreme takeoff in her oeuvre. Instead of depend completely on built up symbologies to insinuate the delegate estimation of her figures, she basically portrays a specific question in all its consistently ramifying uncertainty. Thus, what we comprehend by "soul" goes up against a more formative importance, flagging the imperative procedures that saturate our planetary presence overall.

In Camino de Baldosas Amarillas II and Camino de Baldosas Amarillas III the particularity of a characteristic setting goes up against an uncanny comprehensiveness, reflecting the rhythms and symmetries commonly saved for more unique artworks. A kind of yellow winding way winds through the focal point of the piece, setting off the more verdant greens, tans, and blues that encompass it. This differentiating mix of hues follows out a dynamic development which the normally static characteristics of paint on canvas can once in a while explain.
