The artists challenge is about finding beauty within day-to-day
simplest things and managing to transmit the aesthetic emotions they can produce. A drop
of water, for instance.
Once, I wrote a mini-poem that goes: "A drop of water has room enough for
half a universe". Within Claudia Bardasanos drops of waters there is a whole
universe of beauty where unsuspected textures, absurd color juxtapositions and evocative
proposals can be discovered.
For the world is full of unknown wonders. A rainbow full of splendor and fine
shades summing up the colors of light spectrum can emerge from a filthy puddle spilled
with oil. A rotten tree can host a world of aesthetic emotions as far as the artist knows
how to look at it and is able to reproduce these impressions on the canvas. Whereas artist
are the only ones gifted and capable of finding the hiding relations behind things. The
aesthetic emotions conceal by day-to-day veil, by the elemental and simple, all those
things seemingly worthless before peoples eyes.
That is the miracle of art. That is the artist spell. I only hope Claudia
Bardasano continues finding and disclosing the mysteries comprised within a simple drop of
water lying on a dirty piece of glass, or falling and bouncing on a water mirror thus
creating an endless number of concentric circles. Because, in my opinion, she, by choosing
this simplistic theme, has managed finding a whole world to be discovered yet. A world
that is waiting for the magic her brushes hold.
