Eloísa Sanz
Spain 1952.
Lives and works in Palazuelos de Eresma (Segovia). Spain.
Eloísa Sanz's visual work is based on the transformation of the landscape into intervened natures, with images that transit from the real to the imaginary, provoking emotions and stirring up our ecological conscience in the face of the destruction of nature and memory.
The combined use of conventional painting along with photographic manipulations provoke a dichotomy of languages. A game of deception and a visual and tactile perspective different from the real one, moving away from the conventional concept of nature. Through the use of different materials (wood, aluminium, methacrylate and other materials), she obtains spaces that unfold into visual fragments which are subsequently transformed into two and three-dimensional objects.
Irregular formats that enhance the expressive intention are a constant in her work. The space becomes recognizable rooms and environments with planes and windows open to the outside, struggling with nature. The objects that are manipulated and transformed, such as chairs, tables, screens, and other works of hers (a priori), have no functional intentions, they are unstructured and visually interpreted objects that lose their utility, becoming three-dimensional works.
