BRENDA SABBAGH

In my paintings I seek to capture the idea of the instantaneous and the invisible of everyday life. I feel like a pictorial photographer, I think of the works as frames of a cinematographic sequence. I am interested in painting the essence of the moment, what is not seen, capturing what is in people sitting, lying down, sleeping, thinking, sad, that intimacy is what attracts me, in each painting I try to immortalize the sensation that runs through the scene.

 

When I paint, the action of  comes to me, immersing myself in water, in the wateriness of the painting itself. What separates the surface of the water and the surface of the air, when one is submerged, is a two-dimensional and abstract separation surface that cannot be seen but can be measured. This point of union between one surface and another is what I am interested in working on: between figuration and geometrization, between coherence and incoherence. I think of it as a healing act, both immersing yourself in the water and immersing yourself in the paint.

To conquer space with drawings in the key of installation. To conquer space in order to alter the supposed two-dimensionality proposed by the drawing, to arrange it in new spaces that affect it, incorporate it and affect me in the process of realization. To conquer space is to think of new ways of living with drawing. To observe the atmosphere that affects every surface with a light that is colored with the color of every city in every time. There are two dialogues that take place at the same time: that of space with emptiness and that of light with space.
