City - Paintings




Maria Isabel voit, regarde ... et nous donne son impression sensible de la ville.
Visions et regards s’impriment sur la matière sensible de ses toiles par sa faculté de sentir et d’éprouver. Dans ses oeuvres, elle ne s’attache pas décalquer ce qui est "devant" elle. Son travail est une mise en scène qui s’appuie sur le scénario de son expérience. Il exprime sa présence au monde et n’est pas réductible à la représentation de l’espace géographique et urbain.
Elle nous tire vers des espaces qui révèlent des mondes possibles. Elle offre ainsi divers rapports à la ville : de l’étouffement au rêve.
Ses peintures jouent avec la versatilité du réel et l'onirisme. Perceptions et émotions se combinent et s’amalgament. S'élaborent alors les images de notre propre imagination en même temps que s’ouvre la porte de nos souvenirs.
Par là même, elle libère en nous un monde instable de sensations.

Jean-Yves Guarneri
