The artwork, presented in perfect condition, explores the symbolic universe and its connection to human history, from the earliest uses of pigments by Homo sapiens and Neanderthals to the complex artistic and philosophical expressions of today. Inspired by cultural and philosophical references, the critique highlights Umberto Eco’s reflections on symbols as bridges to the transcendental, alongside elements from the Kabbalah, the Rosicrucians, and thinkers like Plato and Aristotle.
Carmen Cañadas uses her art as a vehicle to address themes such as gender oppression, patriarchal history, and the relationship between the material and the emotional. The work is laden with symbolism, ranging from the allusion to Foucault's pendulum as a representation of patriarchy to references to cultures and eras such as the Vikings, the Druids, and the herbalistic vision of the Incas. These elements interact with technique and composition, emphasizing the golden ratio as a harmony between the human and the divine.
The painting presents a visual and conceptual enigma, blending history, aesthetics, and philosophy in an atmosphere that seeks justice and transformation. Through folds, textures, and meanings, it becomes a call for change, upheld by a solid foundation of artistic honesty and creativity.
