This artwork is inspired by the song "Toad of the night".
It's a song that talks about loneliness but also of illusions.
The song belongs to the Argentine folklore and it is called "Sapo de la noche", letra: Jorge Hugo Chagra, música: Nicolás Toledo.
 I have painted a frog and not a toad... does not matter.
The text says more or less...

"Toad of the night, toad songbook,
That you live dreaming next to your lagoon.
Tenor of puddles, grotesque "Trovero",
You are bewitched of love for the moon.
I know of your life without any glory,
I know about the tragedies of your restless soul.
And that your madness of love to the moon
It is eternal madness of every poet
Songbook toad:
Sing your song,
That life is sad,
If we do not live with an illusion".
(Jorge hugo chagra, Nicolás Toledo)

CARMEN MORENO ART 2024 SETDART AUCTIONS Madrid, Barcelona, march 2024. EXPOMETRO NEW YORK TIMES SQUARE, 2 dec. 2023, 1530 BROADWAY, NEW YORK CITY. 10th anniversary with its first Digital Billboard ART SHOW. "Art is the desperate attempt to understand the world, life and death. Man creates a clumsy pictogram of himself and of the objects, as well as of everything he sees o feels, in the hope of being able to influence it. It is a survival strategy". CARMEN MORENO “Arte es para mí el desesperado intento de comprender el mundo, la vida y la muerte. El hombre crea un torpe pictograma de sí mismo y de los objetos, así como de todo aquello que ve o siente, con la esperanza de poder influenciar en ello. Se trata de una estrategia de supervivencia. Los temas, las técnicas o el medio que utiliza no importan, lo definitivo es el acto en sí mismo”. Carmen Moreno 2024 Carmen Moreno is represented by the following Art Galleries: Setdart subastas Madrid, Barcelona. Galería Lanza, Madrid. Saatchi Art Gallery. Singulart Gallery-Paris. Carmen Moreno's work is bought by Art collectors worldwide. "World of Art" magazine 2020 Guggenheim Museum New York. "First of all, my pictures are myself, then the others and the whole. My work is an attempt to get closer to the mystery of things, to the mystery of life. Or maybe it's the other way around?. I have a tendency to create a figurative artwork BUT...the artwork begins to fly and fly and becomes independent by itself. On the other hand, I prefer to make the mixtures on the canvas and to contribute the painting something unreal, I love bright colors. Sometimes I start a work and try to unravel a mystery that is screaming to get out, and when I realized that I have fail and I must abandon it exhausted, the artwork follows its own life in solitary. I'm just the middle who consolidates a response". … Carmen Moreno lives and works between Germany and Spain. She has been successfully presented in the World of Art for more than twenty years ago. Her motto:"True Art must thrill". Her Artworks are found in numerous private collections around the World. All Artworks rights are reserved by Carmen Moreno. Copyright by Carmen Moreno, 2023.
