This painting, created in 2024 by Mercedes Gordo, is a vibrant expression of figurative art, depicting a spring landscape with impressive attention to texture. The water lilies and forest adjacent to the body of water are captured in a color palette that celebrates the season of new life and growth. Using advanced techniques, Gordo achieves a deep immersion in the subject, inviting viewers to explore each element, from the soft reflection of the water to the green density of the forest.
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.
