Many times, or in general, all the times, art is left to the interpretation of those who look at it and admire it, for the simple fact that each person will see it from his or her own perspective, emotions and experiences.
We artists express our feelings and our way of seeing life, and we can even give messages to those who see our work.
In this case, in the same exhibition hall, two themes that seem to be different, but which at the same time can be related, were presented.
One exhibition was ending and the other was beginning, perhaps by chance, but I don't believe in it.
The outgoing exhibition belonged to the artist Sara Sarabia, and her works as a whole bore the name Inhóspita.
I liked her works very much, the expression, the feeling and the emotions that they transmit are very strong.
A process that every human being goes through, at some point in his life, and this process can be very hard for some.
A process of maturation, which can involve suffering and many sorrows. Not in all cases, but in the images shown here.
Transfers of artistic photographs very well done, in black and white, where the model demonstrates the heartbreaking process of maturation and improvement of the human being.
These works always had a red detail, I associated it with blood and pain, blood as a representation of life, family and impulse.
Looking closely and closely at these works you could convey the energy that the artist put into them, a lot of feeling, strength and sometimes despair.
A lot of strength and intensity is also shown in these works, the artist really manages to transmit what she wanted to say and manages to reach the viewer with a message.
On the other hand, we have another quite different exhibition, by the artist Juanma Reyes, called Animal.
On the other hand, here we see a totally different style of art, where everyone can interpret different things.
Strokes, lines, some colours and empty spaces. His works allude to the most instinctive part of the human being, I think long before the process of evolution shown in the other exhibition.
Being simply lines, that in many cases depending on the perspective and the distance you look at them you can see shapes, or at least I see them, I think they represent the most basic thing of man, the first thing, the base.
That which the human being is before he has reason, and he shows it by calling himself Animal, I think he expresses it well. Man as the most primitive, with the animal base he has and all that that entails.
Memories of ancestors, of the wild, that which does not think, only feels and acts. He alludes to the past, a distant past or the deep interior, the emotional, the memories and everything that later shapes the person.
His strokes are sometimes soft and sometimes intense, and in some places colour is represented.
Black, red, green and yellow are represented, and if I think about the meanings, it speaks of strength, wisdom, health and the removal of negative energies.
In these works I have seen a punching bag, but surely others will see something else. In that bag there is a glove, I think it refers to inner struggles and if you look closely there are spools of thread.
These made me think about our sewing, our shape, how we form and sew. Stitch after stitch.
But I also see disorder, I think that which precedes the very order and maturation needed.
But there is a point where the two exhibitions can be related and it is in this recognition of what forms the human being, the periods through which he goes through and faces different experiences.
I believe that this is how man as a human race can have different points of view, look ahead and start or continue on a path.
Knowing the first essence of the innermost, we can work on it and move forward with new horizons.
