▷ Promontoire de l’oubli n°2 by Corine Sylvia Congiu, 2016 | Mixed Media Painting Trending

I would like my painting to reach “the eye in its wild state”, which would be able to read beyond our culture, intuitively and immediately, the intimate affects, feelings or emotions of the human being given over to his passions, derelictions, expectations and conflagrations.

My painting is a representation of the thought of affects, feelings or intimate emotions, by abstract figures that I call “symbolic figures of thought”: these “figures” can be geometric or “informal”, in a relationship of forces where reason structures or exalts passions.

The meaning of painting emerges in the communication of the gaze of the one who gives and the one who receives.

What an inner necessity has shaped in the making of an image is precisely what cannot or will not be said by spoken words, which will always only approach the meaning without exhausting it.

It is a pictorial world that speaks of waiting, of the power of desire, of love at first sight, and its darkness, of a vast emptiness and intimate void. Of existential angst, of dereliction, of the strength of possibility, of revolution, of hope, of the extremes of torment and serenity.

That is why I prefer to question the gaze of others for the interpretation they may have of these abstract figures.
