About The Artwork
My collage is digital and created by joining several people representations –worldwide- who have been portrayed by me (with the use of a digital camera). The characters always have the same behavior: either calling someone with a mobile or using a mobile for a game or to read a text message, chat or email. Based on the photography, I then produce a collage on the PC screen assembling all the elements in a global work which obviously does not have any connections between different visual elements. because of the automatic transfer of each picture in the global composition. The result is a new landscape with human beings, artificially looking, which consists in a metaphor of the spirit of communication or, best said, the obvious lack of communication of our century, determined by the seeking of innumerous ideal s of beauty and by the importance of the new Information Technologies in the current environment, and their growing influence on our daily life. I wish to translate this trend into my work: the consequence appears to be to some extent an atmosphere of visual silence. The digital collage technique allows to work in very high resolution which leads to create very large scale inkjet on a wide range of different support ( canvas, awning, paper, etc…).

1943 - Born in Colombia (South America)
since 1992 - living and working in Switzerland.
Artist formed by different cultures and possessing a solid ability of techniques , she expresses herself either through drawing , engraving and painting. She interprets the real in order to find it back through a vision which makes the image glide imperceptibly towards a form of abstraction.
Carmen Reyes's figurative work , far from being picturesque , refuses any talkative and servile transcription of the real. The artist approaches the viewed things in a shaded language. The subjects are sober without any annotation of decorum or accessories in order to broach in a better way , a furtive reality ,a stolen moment from a world that too often forgets to rest in order to observe.
Her sources of inspiration come from magazines , newspapers taken from the topical interests or simply suggested by daily life. Through her look , she gives rise to a personal dimension and makes her own a situation where the human body is always a primordial motif. She pursues her impression and emotion through these corporal postures of which she gives us only some essential signs.
It's most of all in her way of painting and of playing on the textures of the paper that Carmen Reyes reveals her peculiarity. The choice of a graphical support to elaborate her compositions is significant of her style.
Not a single coloured area invades the image , it's the line that dominates. The bodies get mixed up with space and all the figurative details are veiled. The subjects are sober whereas the rendering is extremely vivid. A singular workmanship that rhythms and unifies the picture elements and offers a relief work on the surfaces. Thus , the interpretation of Carmen Reyes's work of art opens itself to emotion.
