Pestene, Aurelia
When only a photograph is not enough…
Aurelia's work is a mix between photography prints on paper or canvas and pointillism, so you can easily call it a mixed media art. Every picture, every little dot has a meaning since the whole project is about time, about how fast it can fly, how everything can change or become a blur in just a second and all that is left are memories: the tiny colorful dots in all that change.
It raises a question: what do we leave after ourselves – is it just a gray abstract mess, or is it something that catches the eye, something bright and colorful, something that binds everything together?
