Calm Painting

Susana Lladó is an artist from Barcelona. Graduated in Philosophy, her work is charged of semantic richness and symbolism. It has a hypnotic and dreamlike character that brings us closer to Schopenhauer’s concept of art as pure contemplation, in which man forgets his most intimate self to enter into communion with something superior. For her, painting is a manifestation of a spiritual sensitivity; a way through which it can replace verbal communication of concepts, sensations and emotions. Her work is concurrently abstract and figurative, even though the two are intimately intertwined in significance. Both styles explain in different languages a single symbolic discourse. She seeks to capture what cannot be delimited by form.
