Creating and painting have never been an end in themselves but rather a way to escape which is utterly essential to me. Aesthetics have never been an objective but rather the unconscious outcome brought upon the escape painting brings me. And when I snap back to reality and set my pencil down, I am always surprised by what unveils before my eyes.
Introducing Mesa
Many creations have come about since, all the while continuing to explore her style and to progress and evolve…and it is with these artworks at hand that she came knocking on our door; artworks we are proud to present to you ! Mesa paints on canvas at times, however, paper is the medium she holds dear for it is there that her strokes, the first stroke from which her artworks arise, express themselves best…For Mesa’s initial creative step is to let her pencil move freely, with pure emotion and impulse, leaving instinctive curves. From there, shapes will arise that will challenge Mesa, often on end. She then erases parts of it, entirely even, before letting her stroke wander away, time and time again, until she can “read” and perceive her work of art. Only then will she begin to use markers, pastels and acrylic paint, outlining certain pencil strokes, filling in blanks with an economical use of colors (3 at most), in addition to the black and scales of gray she uses to highlight her strokes. « When I start working on an artwork, I never know where I’m going. My stroke stems from my prevailing mood which also leads and steers my colorization. I feel like I truly discover and become aware of my artwork only once it is finished, and in some way, I snap back to the reality of my atelier. It’s like waking up and discovering the end result with my own eyes.”
Shapes arise from the strokes and colors.If personas appeared intuitively in her earlier artworks, the more Mesa evolves, the more abstract seems to take the upper hand, yet one’s imagination may still distinguish personas, the personification of her shapes, as Man remains Mesa’s favorite theme. And although she is the first spectator of her works once she has “awaken”, she likes to narrate each detail and give us the keys to understanding them; there are scenes, life lessons, moments and objects for which only Mesa has the artistic interpretation. Still, without Mesa’s interpretation, your imagination and your feelings will narrate your own perspective of the aesthetics found in the balance and imbalance of her strokes, or an emotion which stems from the chaos. That’s why Mesa likes to play with the imperfections of her lines and curves which she does not rectify. “My mood is as it appears on the paper, I hate perfection…it bores me and it dehumanizes.” A sort of sweet madness, an unconscious projection similar to automatic writing, on behalf of the artist ? Without a doubt, and that’s what makes her artworks and her style so unique ! In very little time, Mesa’s artworks have already enormously and positively evolved. We can’t wait to receive and discover her future works of art. Each one being a delicacy to taste and savor daily in the comforts of our home, even by pairs of 2 or 3 hung on the wall since they intertwine so well with each other, like a series of portraits. |
