WORK As the art critic said Victor Carvalho works independently and value, in a medium estinvadido random improvisations. Luz Mara has very good technique, excellent drawing, and exquisite chiaroscuro utilizacin, allowing you to ensure the representation of human dignity, in their evil to roam the land between the birth and death. This is important, his position is transcendental and let the child, the adult or the elderly, prefigure the spectrum between the veils of darkness and shadow. His idea is that nothing is important in the figure if we have not got a social category of wealth, or other aesthetic beauty. To her we are interested in transporting all types genre of humans to the highest moral category: the supreme dignificacin the human condition. And the surprising thing: the breaks around the picturesque, in a position antipintoresca reason and the variation of paint as worthy of being painted. His drawings are highly expressive, subtle, poetic and very suggestive of resources measured plastics. Graphic reference to his work, Carvalho notes: the artsta represents a level creator, the young postmodernism, indeed allowing consistent high apreciacin the vagaries of the creative metamorphosis. The valued line, detached corpreos contour is his rope sensual ylrica as melodic subject, the paper space, where hue and nuance, is the other protagonist. At first glance be seen as a subtle and refined abstract art, the way caligrfica the Far East. Line, space and signature are the elements of the work of animators Luz Mara by then, the line fluctuates, appearing and disappearing, which is thinned or swells, the sign seems to proceed rather than the image? Because the contour of a heel edge of a forearm, sealed by the flowing development, without reference to total body from which they allow the artist a game operator librrimo, as the phrase of a viola, that is musicality. The human environment is the starting point, but the arrival is the plane of the paper, and the line is unexpected and nobilsimo element, Descriptive released from bondage. Luz Mara is the times and the lines pulled the naked human, released and, following the letter intuition and images derived from written Kandinsky Concerning the Spiritual in Art . The work of Mara Luz Ovalle, with its art genetics code, gives birth, in his artistic time as his own. Nutrients, water and light, could link to Kandinsky and Mondrian or a Chinese Ming dynasty, but it is just as artist today.
