Constanza Mallol

 

Statement

I like to paint what is alive- a fruit, a body, a flower that breathes and changes, gives off scent and promises of taste, touch. 
I want to seize that thrill, the excitement of that life and my life colliding. Not the perfect photographic render but the exalted emotion of recognizing life,  that joy that reminds me I’m human.
I look at each subject to honor its own value and substance. I don’t look to evoke hidden meanings or stories. I let the subject speak for itself. I paint what I see.
