"Nature, solitude and silence that guide her rhythms have inspired the artist who in 2003 underwent a geometric expression in games of light with stains. In The current exhibition of monotypes on covered paper, explores in a very free way and once again, the poetic spatialism that has become the hallmark of his style. Soft contrasts of colors that awaken resonances of the various elements, transparencies, are associated in this series, with a maritime space. Soulic, dreamlike and cosmic landscaping that the artist's passion for color and mastery in their domain fully reveal. Mastery of color, its light, its fluids and its movements in palpitating jets of gold entangled in the subtle skein of emerald blues, underwater greens, ochres, grays, blood reds and lilacs that seem to spring directly from the intimacy of the substances of an enchanted nature.
Saskia Moro offers us in this recent set of works, images of the sea and light, imbued with sweetness and softness, the expression of an initial cosmic purity , true breath of poetry."
