Nami

Art has the ability to make people travel while standing still. Color, as well as forms, give rise to sensations, emotions and perceptions that can be considered as foundational elements of new worlds all to be explored. There is a profound synesthetic capacity that characterizes painting. Although based on visual representation, pictorial art not only solicits optical perception, but is also capable of Intervening on other sensory channels, moving different dimensions of perceptual experience. In this way, art works with lines, shapes, colors and figures to gratify not only our gaze. It thus builds configurations that appeal as much to sight as to hearing, touch and taste. Through this mode, art has the power and means to create real settings, real universes having their own autonomy and characteristics. In this sense, Nami's works become the bearers of glimpses of new worlds that are decoded through the use of form and pigment. In this sense, the element that serves as the architectural and spatial structure of these worlds is the line. A dry, black, highly expressive line that winds within the artist's compositions. Like a thread of string, the line moves, insinuates itself between the pictorial matrix, divides, arches, expands and retracts going to delineate little by little the skeleton of the composition. Looking at the black line already possible to glimpse the distances, the volumes that form the represented space, the subjects and the horizons. Yet, there is a need for that element that infuses emotionality, that is made to be savored and tasted, that is made to be looked at closely in all its nuances.
