Time flies by here, with our fast-paced conception of living. We are in Paris, the city of lights. A metaphor for the epicenter of modernity, light is a synonym for avant-garde thinking. In this city, great minds have come together to reimagine the Western world. Maria wants to know, what about now? How many of these lights still brighten Paris in present times? Is There Yet Space For Light is an introspection on the absence of light in the world, shedding light on environments that corrupt our capacity to imagine and to perceive. It is indeed a rhetorical question, hence there is no question mark at the end. The digital world, over consumption, relentless construction, and all sorts of other deteriorating realities that occupy our space. Is There Yet Space For Light is as mental as it is incredibly physical exercise.
Colours and shapes and colours and shapes and more COLOURS AND SHAPES are Maria’s premises to transmute these thoughts into bodily sensations. A simple process of the mathematical formula called intuition: a sensibility of the artistic practice that produces its own instructions, visual orders and optical rules. The red is placed next to the yellow and these two colours merge perfectly into orange, as if they were the product of scientific phenomena. These works are the result of a time of reflection and observation, but mostly of chromatic experimentation. Colour only exists because of the presence of light, so, do you see these colours? Search for it! Look through its transparencies, do you see these colours? Boom, light! You are in the presence of light! Is There Yet Space For Light allows these ethereal elements to lead the way to a new renaissance of thinking through simple pockets of clarity.
