Project Description
Twice upon a Time… is a story. The story of our daily lives taken into the realm of painting.
A story presented as the catalyst of ideas and feelings, reminding us that where ever we are, we live in the same surreal world, a world full of fantasies. By using words for evidencing our existence, and painting as the medium to present them we unveil this wonderful relationship between words and images. The result is an analog work in which borders are crossed between disciplines by taking painting into the space possessed by video and iconography bordering the line between drawing and painting.
Twice upon a Time… is a dynamic project, a collaboration between two artists, two women and two human beings. Each one of us begins a story and transfers this idea into the canvas. The second one gives the story an end, and completes the piece started by the first artist. This process continues until all the pieces are completed.
Two women, two souls, two scenarios, two nationalities, two stories, two worlds, two realities, two ways of making art and all this comes together in one majestic story that never comes to an end: Twice upon a Time…
