Charco (Puddle) Painting

"Charco" (Puddle) That's what we affectionately call the Río de la Plata, which is the widest river in the world. In Argentina, we also use it to refer to the Atlantic Ocean. I suppose it's a way to deceive the unconscious so as not to feel so far away. Here, my friend Marina, who lives in Montevideo, is present. We share this nostalgia, and being granddaughters of Italian immigrants, we also try to imagine how our grandparents felt when they changed countries. That's why there are two figures, one going and the other coming. From "Nostalgia" Series It had been 4 years since I last went to Buenos Aires to see my family (family, friends, loved ones). I spent a month eagerly waiting to go, and I fully enjoyed the 20 days I was there. When I returned, I painted this series. It was two months of yearning for those encounters that flew by, and who knows when they will happen again. As usual, I first paint, express on the canvas, and then realize what those images mean to me. I realize that the palette I chose represents the colors that come to mind when I think of the Río de la Plata. They are the colors of “mate”, earth, and the “hornero” bird. -------------- "Charco" Así es como le decimos cariñosamente al Río de la Plata, que es el río más ancho del mundo. También lo utilizamos en Argentina para referirnos al Océano Atlántico. Supongo que es una manera de engañar al inconsciente para no sentirnos tan lejos. Aquí está presente mi amiga Marina que vive en Montevideo, con quién compartimos esta nostalgia, y al ser nietas de italianos inmigrantes también tratamos de imaginar cómo se sintieron nuestros abuelos al cambiar de país. Por eso las dos figuras, una va y la otra viene.
