Monocromía

Celia Gallego

📍 Thompson by Hyatt, Madrid, Spain

ES

“La mirada se manifiesta en todos y cada uno de los elementos de nuestra vida. Hay mirada en la forma de vestir, en la manera de caminar, de hablar, de ser o de relacionarse con los demás. El enamorado tiene mirada, igual que la tiene el asesino. Hay infinitas miradas y cada una cuenta una historia” 

Para Gallego la mirada revela las profundidades del alma de cada
persona
. Esta pasión por desvelar el misterio detrás de cada iris le viene
de pequeña, a través del observar los ojos de sus miembros de la
familia. La artista se quedaba maravillada por los tonos azulados, grisáceos y verdosos que encontraba en su entorno, tal y como vemos en este lienzo marcado por la melancolía del color azul.

Gallego asegura que es su primer óleo en el que consigue que los flotantes ojos representados sigan al espectador, generando la inquietante sensación que produce el cruzar miradas con alguien.

"The gaze is manifested in each and every element of our lives. There is a gaze in the way we dress, walk, speak, are, or relate to others. The lover has a gaze, just as the murderer does. There are infinite gazes, and each one tells a story." 

For Gallego, the gaze reveals the depths of each person's soul. This passion for unveiling the mystery behind each iris dates back to her childhood, when she would observe the eyes of her family members. The artist was fascinated by the bluish, grayish, and greenish tones she found around her, as we see in this canvas marked by the melancholy of the color blue.

Gallego states that this is her first oil painting in which she managed to make the floating eyes depicted follow the viewer, creating the unsettling sensation produced when locking eyes with someone.
