Eugenia Andrade - Biography
Eugenia Andrade
By looking at a painting or sculpture, we wonder what the
artist’s life has to do with his work. In the case of
Eugenia Andrade’s painting, the answer to this question
goes beyond the turbulent shapes and colors that can be admired
on a canvas surface. We are talking about a painting surface
telling a deep story from two variants –the artistic
one strictly speaking and the personal one. The presence and
repetition of the female figure with a sad and mysterious
countenance is obviously a self-portrait while the landscape
surrounding her as well as the one she is not included in
involve feelings symbolically expressing tenderness and violence,
love and aggressiveness –affective values to be perceived
simultaneously in order to capture their total and meaningful
reality.
At first sight and without deep analysis,
one might assume this painting is under the genre of naïf
art, commonly known as naïve, but I don’t think
so. The universe of dreams or daydreams she presents as fragments
of memory is projected with an enormous richness of shapes
and colors, thus structuring a multiple plastic space corresponding
to an “educated” worldview. Although Andrade did
not have an educational background or artistic studies, in
her paintings she presents herself as an artist who intuitively
knows the formal rules of art, and from there, in an original
way she produces images in obsessive movements shown in the
foreground, without perspective but in an effective spatial
composition; with order and directionality, she reconstructs
the figurative representation from the conscious fragmentation
of the landscape as it is contextual to her. The reason why
she could not be considered as naïf lies in the fact
that the “educated” worldview of the nature Andrade
depicts in her works is that of a real reality expressed in
the figurative representation of abstract feelings –a
view that has permeated the history of art of all times.
