DREAMERS

The creative, sometimes strange, and sometimes absent being, is a dreamer who materialises their visions by exorcising the artist itself, that inherent part that lives inside of them. That part that requires courage to see the result come to life and be judged again and again by itself before it is shown to the world. This is a process of maximum vulnerability that, with stoic conviction, they overcome and once finished there is a sublime, almost voluptuous satisfaction for the artist.

These materialised dreams are what have led me to these female artists, who create and recreate their spirit through art, where through a piece they manifest the vision of the world that surrounds them, and its interpretation, and which in turn we as spectators translate as an extension of their soul, as a feminine reflection of strength, subtlety, elegance, power and creativity.

This curation aims to highlight their art and convey it to more people because only in this way can a dreamer continue to create abstracting from their world. For those of us for whom art is part of the air that brings us back to life, we have a compromise to the artist not to be a selfish lover of their art but to promote it, encourage it, and highlight it, not to remain only as contemplative dreamers but as an active and important part of its growth.

Including these four female artists in this curation has been a creative revelation that has led me to learn more about them and their art.

Thankyou!

Melda VNH

Melda's artistic expression is an explosion of defined blocks of colour. They evoke the nature of a free and powerful soul that is responsible for externalising the daydreams of characters whose gaze and faces seem lost in the calm of inner contemplation, of self-reflection that leads to the evolution of the self.

It requires a certain level of artistic sensitivity to combine firm strokes with striking colours, which show character; this skill reminds me of the artist Joan Miró, who used geometric curves and soft lines on provocative and colourful backgrounds. Melda seems to have that quality too, she also has the power to tell you warm stories through the closed eyes of her characters.

Iovi Sacra Art

Photography has the quality of portraying the reality we want to show to others, but it can also create it. There is a particular charm when it comes to constructing abstract ideas in an atmosphere of acceptable irony, of aesthetic contrasts and ordinary elements that are often part of a decaying urban landscape.

This charm I refer to is well achieved by Iovi, who expresses this sensibility through the lens as she places the light point just where it needs to be, sometimes in colour, sometimes between shadows and contrasts, between strong textures that with subtle eloquence show a fragile and delicate point of her characteristic style.

Crow Zeo

Another evidence that art is another extension of physics and its laws, as it is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. Dadaism more alive than ever, it finds its reincarnation in the creative hands of Crow Zeo, who offers the geometric vision a series of unexpected twists of the obvious.

The shadows in her work are what give meaning beyond the complex combination of tones in her palette, they posses depth and movement in a harmonic sense despite that at first glance may be the product of arrhythmic vibrational waves but after a few minutes of contemplation your gaze is lost in the hypnotic movement of the colours and forms.

Harini

Twitter

Harini's photographic work makes you reflect on the challenge of the artist and her object of desire, her muse and sometimes her trademark. Flowers muses and models silent, submissive poses that smile meekly like those ladies who were once portrayed for their beauty but whose haughty smile might be too much to show… Still, the eye of the artist charged with reproducing their beauty has the challenge of making them look even more beautiful without the implied obviousness but by distilling the extract of the scent that can only be perceived by the visual sense.

With Harini's work it is easy to perceive that scent, it is almost so real that you can feel the warm breeze of a summer night just by looking at one of her photographs.
