Critical notes
THE PRIMORDAL JOY OF LIFE
Sofia Areal (b. 1960) has been building one of the most interesting and original paths of our time, heir to emblematic aspects of contemporary art: abstraction; o and the simultaneity of Robert and Sonia Delaunay.
In his painting, the palette of pure colors flares up, claiming unlimited freedom, freeing itself from form and vibrating with it in unison, singing the primordial joy of nature. Solar song of appearances returned to an essence that is pure dance.
The swirling movement of the forms, their metamorphosis according to the hidden mechanisms of creation, a very vivid chromaticism are marks of the solar adventure of his images. Form having infinity as its horizon, infinity containing itself in the exaltation of form, in the exhalation of a halo that aims at the perfection of the circle and perpetually escapes in rebellion and in the passion that connects the visible and the invisible. What subtle grammar it is? This one, apparently so full of evidence, exploding into a thousand suns, into flowers of the chance of lines, into concentric circles within an expanding circle, fragments of a sun that seems deny all darkness because he himself is Is your luminous heart?
Your plastic grammar is ready. This is well evident in the three new creations for screen printing that he presents to us today, celebrating his 40 years of splendid activity. A true symphony of the forces that preside over the country. life and should inspire it.
