Description

The artwork of Alejandra España is an invitation to her intimate cosmogony. In it, she displays modules to give meaning to the observer through the configuration of maps or cartographies in which she leaves clues that serve as guides for the consciousness to identify references or signs. Hence, rhetoric is not necessary, since these signs live free of concept in the unconscious. The artist opens the door to the diversity of forms and symbols that reside in her memory as a result of her evolution, and the collective expressions shared throughout the world of myths and legends, a memory of the primitive. In her process, freedom is essential, it allows aesthetic and formal resources not to be influenced by preconceptions or impositions on the final result of the work. Ending in surprise and amazement during the process, in which the work reveals itself almost in a hypnotic or trance state. It is not her person (mask) that speaks, but her transcendental being (true self), the one who pursues the truth, who keeps the secrets, and at the same time knows the path to liberation to become impersonal. It seeks to give expression to the inexplicable with the senses; give freedom to magical intuitions and intimate conceptions. Her free use of symbolic repetition is an incantatory affirmation, allowing her to protect the expanding existence of her inner landscape.
