Works by Marité Crespo
I'm Marite Crespo, I was born in Río Negro, Argentina.
I graduated in architecture from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral. I have lived several years in Canada, today my residence/laboratory is located in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.
I like the liberating mystery of making art, entering the complexity of saying without saying... where the visceral and the sensitive turn on. I am the time, where there are no absolute truths, I am light and darkness. A world where the complexity of joy and sadness, of love and pain, stumble against each other, confronting each other, happening as past, present, future... constant, occasional and simultaneous.
That's how I paint. I paint leaving marks on all this, marks that call and seek the gaze, the synthesis, the new form. I use words, symbols, colors... everything like songs, songs that are music but also silence. I paint about our existence and its complexity, it is my way of saying, proposing, denouncing or creating alternative realities.
I seek the complicity of a spectator who is moved, who lets himself be seduced by the line, by the plot, who hides in a shadow or shines with light, who vibrates, who dreams... who imagines... who lets himself be crossed by the magic of art...".
My paintings have been exhibited nationally and internationally. They describe the basis of compositions as a life force that manifests itself in gestures, animals, people and in all the power of symbols, codes and traits, which make us reflect on our world and our time. My works are an overlap of techniques and experimentation with different materials, giving rise to expressive and contemporary works.
