Nuria Gonzalez Alcaide

Spain
Statement

Most of the time I think I can’t paint,

That’s why I don’t think when I paint.

I am interested in thought and everything that happens to human beings internally. Where do all those experiences that happen to us go? Where is that thought that one day we had, but no longer exists in us? Where do we accumulate everything we didn’t say? How do we create layers to survive the world around us?

I problematize my thinking about my own artistic practice and investigate it through painting, with the aim of finding a genuine connection of the canvas with me. My work is made up of conscious and unconscious layers, and I find inspiration in the colors that surround me, both in nature and in cities.

I distinguish three stages in my process: a first instance in which, starting from the primary colors, along with black and white, I explore the colors linked to the thought I am working on; then, in a second instance, I let the process rest to read the piece later and, in a third instance, establish a conscious dialogue from the study of color based on previous palettes.
