Painting: Acrylic ink on cotton paper. Inspired on Mark Rothko's floating shapes. Cintia García allows elements of chance to dictate the composition of the painting. She begins each work by tracing paint directly onto the paper. From there, her process is highly technical and laborious, as she covers the surface of the work with straight networks of line and shape. García has described her abstract paintings as “mind-maps”—visual representations of her emotional state while working on a given piece. She does not predetermine the composition of a work, but rather allows visceral tics and emotional compulsions to guide her painting. It is a meditative, intensely physical process. ‘I have to wait for the right moment to draw some lines,’ she has said. ‘Sometimes it takes days and weeks to find the right state of mind. My breathing needs to be absolutely under control.’ Her elaborate and often repetitive patterns create moments of tension and release as they lead the viewer across the paper. This work is about experiencing, getting rid of the ego and to reduce any need of expression to the repetition of the line in only one direction. I wanted to overflow my mind in an attempt to freeing myself from thinking beyond gesture and breathing. The paper is Arches Watercolour, 156 lb , Cold Pressed. This artwork was painted with Schmincke AeroColor and Liquitex Medium. Framed on request ten days late.

I live in Barcelona, Spain. I was born in Bahia Blanca on December 9, 1969. When I was 6 years old, along with my parents and brothers, I moved to Sierra Grande, a desolate mining town in Patagonia Argentina. Then we traveled north and settled in Carmen de Patagones. I lived 20 years in Patagonia. From that experience I remember the endless views over the desert plateau sinking into the sea. Orange sunsets while paddling on the Rio Negro. Cold and windy. Blue sky and loneliness. At the age of 26 I moved to Buenos Aires, where I lived until 2016. In 2016 I moved to Barcelona, Spain, and this is where I live, work, have family and friends. My artworks arise from the confrontation between what I want and what I get; a leap into uncertainty between the desire to do and the impotence of doing it. The body"”oscillating"”is in the middle. Each line is the trace of a movement. The work is constructed by accumulation, color on color and line upon line. The strokes are like a bridge between two shores, a web that links fragments. Intensity is an essential component of my work and forms part of a vital dynamic. The experiential operates as a time shift: a difference that is installed on the continuum of reality; a gap that lets you see what is hidden from the view. http://www.cintiagarcia.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6KV229O9XQ
