The Window can tell many stories, talk about people, identities, places, intimacy, pieces of daily life, a mirror towards the inside and the outside.
What is hidden behind a window? A light, a coffee, a table, a chair, a set table, a bottle of wine, smiling faces, soft music and much more.
The window is the meeting point between human space and external reality, between culture and nature, between measure and infinity. It is an element that separates two worlds:
there is an external one made of natural or urban landscapes, of air, of light, of sun, of clouds, of wind, of warmth; and an internal one made of people, small rituals, furnishings, curtains, floors and walls. And Elisa takes us by the hand with her poetic painting, to tell us about a journey not only between two cities, Barcelona and Brussels, but between cultures and identities, also between urban and rural, between intimacy and everyday life. An itinerary, a journey without buying a train or plane ticket, an emotional and imaginary journey, a journey into the poetics of life, into the beauty of everyday life that makes us dream, that tells us about values and identity. A journey between the north and the south, where light plays its role on the behavior of individuals, where in a city like Brussels the windows are open to the public, like a living painting, while in the south of Europe, in the vibrant capital of Barcelona , a curtain hides that everyday life blinded by daylight requiring shelter. A brushstroke that can tell a lot, children playing, faces of men and women, never seen before, a simple gesture, a light, a glimpse of life.
Elisa's paintings in her miniatures tells the story of life, the identities of people, a miniature to enter into a story, precisely a window not only on the world but also on ourselves, a window like a travel companion who when walking in the streets of Brussels and
Barcelona keep us company, sometimes making us forget who we are and lose ourselves in fantastic stories that bring us a smile or a tear.
The window therefore as a place of thought, in the moment in which we look out, or from the outside we observe the world, an alley, a street, or we reflect ourselves in the glass of a window, we are actually opening another window, that of our interior , our soul.
History teaches us how a simple window has become an inspiration
not only for artists, but also for philosophers, historians, a field of study and reflection from ancient times to the modern and contemporary ages. But what does Elisa's painting tell us? A
reflection, a study, a journey? His details of light lead us back to that light of the Middle Ages, to that incessant search for worlds between light and dark, a detail, a face, an image to break
reality into a thousand pieces, like a puzzle that comes out of the window to tell us not only real-life stories, but also fragments of our lives. An imaginary and emotional world that does
not stop only at the external world but which delicately explores the internal one to delicately extend its hand to us on this itinerary called Life.
And quoting Fernando:essosa:“The greatest pains of my life are alleviated when, opening the window that looks inside me, I can forget myself at the sight of its movement”.
