Antonia Ajo

Antonia Ajo es mi pseudonimo.Adoro intervenir en pinturas antiguas que adquiero en mercadillos de antigüedades,dándoles así un nuevo significado y vida.I adore the lightness of some bubbles that float ignorant of the gray reality of the pointed corners.

I perceive the closeness of everyday objects inside a house and I represent them My interest is to dignify the humility of a curtain or a poor pot of moles, too From forgotten bars or from a shutter that we leave open.

I love the remnants of home, waving from the scene where I place them and from where they welcome the clouds, skies, trees, mountains or seas that they see through windows that I open for them, that I open to mitigate their loneliness of invisible objects.

I make them the protagonists of my paintings with the will to weave bridges between the interior and the exterior, between the things that we no longer see because we have seen them until they become evanescent things and things that deserve attention for their established magnificence.

I like common things, surprising me by decontextualizing them. It comforts me when the gaze finds rest in the familiar touch of the objects that accompany my daily life.

I was born in Barcelona in 1971.

After many twists and turns that I paint and represent in my works, I can explain that I grew up and was educated as an artist at IDEP Barcelona from 1989 to 1993.

I have learned to look at the insignificant things by insisting. I have learned to make them the principal dancer of a dance company of chaotic but steady growth.

The history of Art came from the good work of Sotheby's to the luxury of being able to apprehend it in 1994.

Manuel Hurtado's painting workshop was essential to "let go" and recognize the brushes as an extension of my fingers. I would never see the canvases again as an empty space that intimidates, if not as a magnificent opportunity to recreate a dream.

The proximity of a painter of the stature of Hurtado inspired me, I perceived the light-dark of his work and I was soaked in the overflowing security emanating from his always correct lines.
