TO DIE YOU MUST HAVE LIVED

Consistent works of art, growing without formulas, attentive to their own development, a metaphor of a drive of life and glimpsed death. “To die you must have lived” announces Giselle Balero Reche and documents it in powerful, subtle, premeditatedly random images, freeing matter and associating it in complex compositions, tense in the natural confrontation of differences, discriminating similarities, harmonizing contradictions. In the midst of so much discussion about the meaning of art in general and painting in particular, I am pleased to find these striking and profound paintings prevailing over the non-specificity of discourses.

FLOW IN THE INTENSITY

Giselle Balero Reche's works invite us to immerse ourselves with our eyes in the depths of a poetic surface. There, we see how the materiality of painting and abstraction subvert planimetry by creating landscapes from one nature to another. Misty backgrounds merge into figures that recall the organic and dance in a subtle immobility. The body of the observer accompanies this journey of the gaze and crosses the shore to also flow in that movement that the artist proposes to us. There, wrapped in a synergistic and vital space, our interior feels without preconceptions the intensity of experiencing the undifferentiated of the syncretism of perceptions.

THE DISCARD OF THE DISCARD

This series rescues what “falls” from the painting, as a metaphor of the excluded. Those "useless", marginalized, remains that move away from the central role that delimit the sides of the painting, are rescued and placed in the foreground, without interventions, the discarded assumes the value of work within the "formal rules" of a society that gestates its own traps.

LIVE BROADCAST

En un entorno que nos habla de una inmediatez, muchas veces mediatizada por las redes donde se transmite un supuesto aquí y ahora, que termina por traducirse en una “linda” imagen, la experiencia de pintar en vivo nos presenta, algo que va más allá, la canalización de lo que está sucediendo en el ambiente, ofreciéndonos como instrumento vehiculizador de lo que pasa, se percibe y siente. La pintura se vuelve un organismo en el que el material y la intervención viva del ambiente ocupan la superficie de la tela. El tiempo parece agarrarse y conectarse con otro ahora.
Este ahora como un encuentro detenido, donde la diversidad y características de los materiales cobran una dimensión propia. Nos presentan la complejidad del encuentro, de la mezcla, la precisión de los límites, nos obligan a atender/detenernos reconociendo lo propio.
De allí, en la experiencia del vivo sucede lo que sucede, algo nace, florece, crece, se rompe y estalla, el tiempo se hace PRESENTE.
