In this impressive landscape, Mercedes Gordo transports us to a world suspended between ice and sky, through her masterful use of oil on panel. The painting depicts a frozen landscape, barely touched by the light of a polar aurora that bathes the horizon in shades of intense violet and pink. The artist's ability to capture the serenity and awe of this natural moment reflects a deep understanding of the interplay between light, color and emotion. Each stroke invites the viewer to experience the calming cold and ethereal beauty of an eternal moment, offering a window into the sublime stillness of nature.
Art has always been my calling. I believe there is something deeply transformative in creating, in shaping matter and turning it into a personal and magical space, channeling a unique sensitivity to observe and interpret the world. Painting is my language; a way to communicate and, at the same time, positively isolate myself from everyday reality. Through each brushstroke, I find a way to express emotions and feelings that I could hardly communicate otherwise. Painting allows me to reveal the most sensitive facet of my being and share my own vision of the world. Thus, my works seek to convey not only emotions, but also messages and reflections on our existence, social challenges and life itself. My artistic career began in realism, focused on landscapes and still lifes. Over time, I have explored more contemporary techniques and styles, creating a fusion between the classic and the modern. In each work, my goal is for the design, color and texture to awaken deep emotions in the viewer and open a space for reflection.
