Revisited Bosch, reread and commented.

Artwork Description:

"What impresses in Bosch's work is his profound imagination, creator of fantastic and monstrous beings, when not caricatures, representing the various sinful manifestations of man, particularly lust and gluttony." From his work "The Garden of Earthly Delights" I selected the figure of an object in the background, elongated and tapered, from which birds leave like freeing themselves from some imprisonment."
"In this way, my work wants to express at the same time the difficulty of reaching God and paradise considering the narrowness of the passage, and the freedom to make choices, by free will."
(Vicencia Gonsales)

"The reading of Bosch by Vicencia is a more poetic reading than a symbolist one. The phrasing she draws from the master's rhetoric is almost musical, as if musical notes volatilize from a wind instrument. That is how we should read her three-dimensional transcription from this Bosch's painting excerpt: birds or musical notes emerging from the funnel-sonorous instrument, to reach the sky, evading themselves, unit by unit, from the common fount from where they sprout out continuously."

"My art talks about the feminine universe, about my dreams as a child, about the curious look kept in my memory, about the life in the countryside and the smell of wet soil, about the joy of living. I talk about the moments of loneliness, about looking at the immensity of the universe and beyond. I talk about the lived moments, about the non-lived ones, about the plots of the world, about the human being. Creating, for me, it's a necessity."
