Ana Patitú

"I paint so as not to get depressed, I look for recreate the sensations I feel underwater, as a way to reconstruct that place, sometimes of security and serenity, and others of vulnerability and loneliness.
I compose my images with few elements to provide visual rest: a few colours and one or two figures, which are often the same character and her reflection or alter ego.

I use photography as a starting point, most of the time images that I take myself.
Before painting I like to study the proportion of the figure, I draw a grid that helps me place it on the support exactly in the place I want and I draw it quite detailed. Then I paint with acrylic, due to its fast drying, the strokes do not lose spontaneity."

Ana Patitú was born in 1982, in Argentina. She is currently living in Barcelona.

She studied Graphic Design where, after being a student, she taught Drawing and Typography. While she was working as a designer, she was taking painting classes with renowned local artists.

In 2016 she moved to Barcelona and continues to work as a freelance designer. It is in 2018 after a deep depression caused by being uprooted that she decides to dedicate herself to art professionally.

Ana begins painting portraits as a way to get closer to her loved ones, who live in Argentina, and continues to explore the human figure as a vehicle for emotions, delving into the different states of mind that she has gone through.
