ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION

I am interested in exploring the language of painting as an intuitive rather than an intellectual process. I have evolved through color and shape without a previous idea or sketch. I believe in the blank space of the canvas as the beginning of every possible way.

 

"Judith Acosta's canvases are propitious spaces for all possibilities. In such a way, through an intuitive process of colors and shapes, to her luck, the painter releases brushstrokes without hesitation, unplanned scribbles and indeterminate figures.

 

Of course, freedom and spontaneity are a fundamental part of her work. This gestural, untidy and experimental aesthetic has an unconventional beauty, very striking and powerful.

The pictorial of her canvases does not depend more than on the absolute expression accompanied by a certain informalism. The spots, therefore, are located in the right place in the plastic subconscious.

 

Colorful matter and gestures, natural brush marks and simple calligraphies, psychic signs and unconscious explorations, symbolic languages ​​and movements, actions and emotions, as well as immediacy and primitivism are manifested in his paintings. Sometimes in red, blue, green or yellow, purple and pink tones.

 

Likewise, her compositions enjoy organic textures, expressionist cadences and a playful dynamism. Generally, the tones do not mix in totality, which makes the piece a conglomerate of resplendent and radiant chromatic oscillations, which connect in their brightness and move away in their shadows.

 

Through the ribbed reliefs in her creations the artist reaffirms and underlines an abstract emotional search. Whether curved or straight, they ripple in the viewer's spirit like vibrations from a sensitive soul. They seem eternal, as they propagate through the support in any direction. They are small paths that persist and take root despite the impetuous passage of the brushes.

 

On the other hand, there is disorder in her abstractions because she releases her inner sensations as is. These are embodied in colorful ways that invariably make us look at her intriguing amorphous personality.

 

The substantial softness of oil and acrylic, that characteristic material slippage, and the ease of combining also delight the creator, since she plays with the fresh, smeared and pure line.

 

Without a doubt, you have as much fun to paint, smudge, smear and saturate as it is to stylize or simplify small and elementary graphics, drawings, scratches, studs, wrinkled and shaky lines, tribal icons, archaic insignia, intensities on the surface, as well as condensations coloristic, which dissolve and disappear into the background.

 

It is undeniable that Miró, Mondrian, Kandinsky and many more artists linked to archetypes and abstract surrealism have greatly influenced her. "
