Fragmentation Series by Carmen Armiñana Painting

My father once told me that any salty food would become sweet if it stayed in my mouth long enough. Whenever I rememebered his words I would place a piece of bread in my tongue and let it melt until it became sweet as cake. I sometimes still try to do it, but get impatient and swallow it right away. I started the series last spring. With flowers blooming around the shambles of the romantic ideations of my childhood. I felt vulnerable, inmensely sad, and I loved it. Like the bread I took as a child; my sadness was bland, shapeless, and necesary. I discovered that, if I concentrated long enough, I could entertain myself by savouring its different hues. Somedays my sadness was sweet, others salty, mostly bitter; always appeticing. And so I started to paint the lips of saints and martyrs and hollywood actresses. For their lips too were inhabited by the infinite flavours of april, and the infinite sadness it brings.
