Andrea Furlan (1976 Argentina)

 

"I breathe... I feel with all my senses, I go slowly, I observe... I belong to what surrounds me, I nourish myself, I am inspired.

Creating my paintings connects me deeply—that flower, that fruit, that root, that leaf, that earth I saw along the way—extracting pigments, experimenting... pure alchemy. Feeling that nature gives me the tools to express my art freely and simply...

I am the guardian of the place where I live today. My job is to transmit the beauty that dwells within and that which surrounds us, to honor what makes me human, united with this whole that envelops me, penetrates me, and transforms me.

Art is part of my path. I am art in everything I do. I am art when I am with my children, when I cook, when I clean, when I cry, and when I laugh.

When I create it, it is no longer mine, it no longer belongs to me... it is at the service of a whole, and it expands.
