Mi mochila
ES
“Mi mochila es esta. Y supongo que tú tendrás la tuya, también.”
En esta escena marcada por el movimiento del caminar, varios fragmentos de un rostro se encuentran envueltos en el plástico de una bolsa que marca la cotidianidad del hacer los recados semanales. Al igual que adquirir demasiado en un supermercado, al inicio de nuestro trayecto de vuelta a casa el peso de la bolsa no afecta físicamente, pero poco a poco va dañando la piel de los dedos y va tensando la espalda.
Gallego quiere transmitir precisamente esta sensación de desgaste
en este óleo, titulado “Mi mochila”. De esta forma la artista alude a nuestro bagaje personal que nos conforma como personas a partir de cierta edad y del que nos percatamos ya cuando es demasiado tarde para que su peso no nos afecte.
Así, la identidad es presentada como un peso que hay que transportar constantemente.

"This is my backpack. And I suppose you have yours, too."
In this scene marked by the movement of walking, various fragments of a face are wrapped in the plastic of a bag that represents the everyday act of running weekly errands. Just like buying too much at the supermarket, at the beginning of the walk back home, the weight of the bag doesn't physically affect us, but little by little, it starts to hurt the skin of our fingers and strain our back.
Gallego aims to convey precisely this feeling of wear and tear in this oil painting, titled "My Backpack." In this way, the artist alludes to our personal baggage, which shapes us as individuals from a certain age, and of which we become aware only when it is too late for its weight not to affect us.
Thus, identity is presented as a constant weight that must be carried.

How it's made
Celia Gallego emplea la tradicional técnica del óleo sobre lienzo en todas sus obras. Esta consiste en mezclar pigmentos con un aglutinante a base de aceites que permite que los pigmentos se adhieran al lienzo. Jugando con las capas, brillos y transparencias, la artista logra crear sus inconfundibles retratos de rostros fragmentados. /Celia Gallego employs the traditional technique of oil on canvas in all her works. This method involves mixing pigments with an oil-based binder that allows the pigments to adhere to the canvas. By playing with layers, brightness, and transparency, the artist succeeds in creating her unmistakable portraits of fragmented faces.
