Waiting for the bus CARMEN MERINO Painting

After my career as a Graphic Designer, I approached painting as a more personal medium; portraits, familiar scenes and inhabited landscapes allowed me a new language. Currently I direct my interest towards Contemporary Art, its study and how to nurture my work with its knowledge. I go out towards the objects that surround us. They are alive and they are testimony of vital moments that belong to the collective of my generation. I enjoy the analysis and definition process prior to production. Then I immerse myself in a meeting place with my hands, papers, paints, markers…; work on the ground, paste, polish, rise to the vertical, doubt and experiment. Styles, techniques and materials crystallize in projects as heterodox as my search, with the precise objective of exploring my own discourse through the work process.
