In 'The Mysterious Forest', Mercedes Gordo takes us on a journey to the heart of a forest at the first dawn of light. The distinctive oil on canvas technique is manifested in the vibrant texture of the trees, masterfully crafted through the use of the palette knife. The blue light of dawn bathes every corner of the canvas, creating an atmosphere of mystery and majesty. A tribute to the serene power of nature, this work invites reflection and admiration for the geological formations, waters and sky captured in an eternal moment of beauty.
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.
