Review
Esperanza Ruiz-Olmo. (Comments of Daniel Arenas, Aires Gallery, Córdoba) Esperanza Ruiz captures the moment of light. She witnesses the everyday scenes with the force of color. She obtains with the brush what nature offers her with contemplation. She makes small details that we all look without seeing. New description of a face, the texture of the skin, the smell of a landscape in autumn, or the first rays of light at dawn. She doesn’t use strident colors, but prefers softness and warm tones. Although her canvases are usually studied in landscaping, she also makes important concessions to the figure and the portrait. Her landscapes are a generous expression of meditation, water, light, creation and sensitivity. A way of artistic escapism moving to places that captivates you and carries you away by the creation and appreciation of nature and the feeling of a romantic, passionate and poetic spirit.
