Fernando de Ana

"Look at a painting. Look at yourself. See yourself in apainting. Right inside it. I try to bringsout the power of resin and the light, to catch the viewer’s attention. We are watching a gameof seduction: sensual, playful. A game in which, perhaps, if you are brave enough, you willlearn something about yourself that you didn’t see before."

There areonly two performers in this dance: you and your shadow. My work offer themselvesas a channel to join the lighter parts of your soul to the murkier ones. A catalyst. A journeywhere there are reflections, transparencies, differing intensities, mists, risksand geometriclimits. Distortions too, since this isn’t about what exists, but rather the meaning you give toit”.
