Alarire: Propuesta de pintura expandida

Abstract

Abstract: Expanded painting is used as a language to translate an experience of loss into painting and space as a symbolic resource an exploration of expansion as a medium capable of installing loss within the exhibition space. As a theoretical core, the concept of expansion was investigated and transferred to a different perceptive experience of painting. Loss and grief are part of an artist s motivations to create; therefore, the analysis focuses on how these emotions can awaken creative, technical, and symbolic resources that lead to a proposal aimed at building bonds of empathy with the viewer. Consequently, the creative process is consolidated in the construction of a personal narrative that begins with the pain of loss and ends with the healing that closed the grieving cycle upon the completion of the project. As a result, Alarire was created: a piece composed of fragments representing a scene of loss under pre-designed lighting conditions. The process made it possible to confirm that expanded painting is a language whose strength is reflected in the union of two key resources: color and space.
