Buy Direct ▷ Intervals n3. From The Intervals series by Rosario Briones, 2025 | Ink Painting

The artwork presents a striking visual narrative set against a vivid blue backdrop. Dominating the canvas is an abstract form, rendered in bold black strokes, suggesting dynamic movement and fluidity. Adjacent to this intriguing silhouette is an expressive cloud-like formation in varying shades of purple and lavender, hinting at ethereal, dreamlike qualities. Below, a small orange boat, anchored by a darker blue stroke, provides a stark yet harmonious contrast to the surrounding hues. This powerful composition juxtaposes earthly elements with abstract forms, sparking curiosity and inviting interpretation. The interplay of colors and forms creates a sense of mystery and depth, encapsulating the viewer in a world that is both grounded and otherworldly. The use of color and form invites a deep contemplation of balance, movement, and the unknown, making it a truly captivating piece.

The series explores the expansion of color as both a physical and emotional phenomenon. Water, as an indeterminate agent, displaces and transforms pigment on the surface, generating compositions that arise not from planning but from the encounter between matter and gesture. Each work becomes a record of the ephemeral: the moment when water moves, evaporates, and leaves its mark. The work then turns into a topography of process, a map of the interaction between control and chance. Far from representation, these paintings propose a perceptual experience, inviting the viewer to inhabit the energy of color in its purest and most expansive state.

In her work, Rosario Briones uses the path of her body that becomes shapes, and the shapes, an indication of the artistic process, of the material choreography directed by the emotion of the body, where an intimate experience is hidden and glimpsed.

The fluidity of her paintings finds no structure. Exploring the same procedure in different supports such as papers and fabrics. The artist is interested in the infinite possibilities that offer her the material, its porosities, weaves, thicknesses and different capacities of absorption, they return images that are not in her head. Signed for a game of tensions, a fight between forces, given by the accumulations of pigment, the transparencies, the forms and their search for balance. Sometimes controlled and other times more chance, they become a record of a living materiality.
