Ayuart

"SAMURAI" narrates the destruction, the stupid futility of a war and serves as a warning for the times to come. Those green elements in fact, which contrast with all the darkness in the work, are a sign of hope, a glimmer of light to be followed to eradicate the darkness of war from this world. The denunciatory and pedagogical character of the work means that "SAMURAI" can be understood and assimilated by every human being having every age and every culture. Instead, there are works that carry with them a milder and calmer soul; reserved and personal. Works that are self-referenced and take their cues from events that occurred in the artist's life. "True Love My mother" is metabolization of bereavement, it is transposition through images of the mutual love between a mother and a daughter that unhinges the rules of space and time to last in eternity. A multicolored space divided into three large blocks accommodates floral and plant elements that creep into the work, creating plays of transparency and overlapping. Again, although the color is extremely bright, the atmosphere is decidedly smoky, and this is evidenced by the presence of elegant rivulets of white smoke moving slowly across the compositional surface. Yet, if we look closely, we discern an element of interest. Exactly in the center of the work stands a female figure. She is Ayuart's mother who, from unimaginable places and other dimensions, constantly watches over her, infusing her with the same love that she has always given her. "True Love My mother" is metabolization of grief and distillation through color and form of the spark of love and the unbreakable bond that exists between a mother and a daughter. Ayuart is capable of transporting us to new places and new dimensions by making us experience unprecedented emotions and sharing feelings with the sole but inescapable power of color, form and layering.
