The Tattooing of Light
If the night grieves its dark
tattoo it does so for its
longing for light. The
abstraction does not grumble
at the figure but captures,
devours, converts it. Martha
Elisa Bojórquez finds herself
in this dilemma: to present
herself on the balcony or to
fall ...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
“I have been in love with art since my childhood, it is my foremost motivation. It is a medium where I try to express my feelings and a moment in which to demonstrate just who I am because I believe the artist projects himself in his work; paints, moulds in a format what he is and what he feels inside. Emotions are translated into painting. Letting them flow, releasing them means to be taken to a point of creativity. A splash of color, a line, the texture, the material, as such, will tell something. It is like soliloquizing or having a dialogue with what one is seeing and creating on the format or support.
For many years I dedicated my work to figurative fantasia expressionism but always found that the strict painted line was constraining my work. Now that my artwork is more abstract I feel more satisfied and free. Step by step I approached the style and I have finally found that which I think to be ideal for the quality and transcendence of my creations. I believe that this vocation is very important. The time one dedicates to researching, studying and experimenting new techniques will result in a higher standard of quality.
Whenever I am facing a blank canvas it is a challenging new adventure. I do not know yet what I will be painting. It is the moment when a thousand queries will come to my mind. It is frightening yet pleasurable. Soon after, I am immersed into the canvas and painting….the dialogue is on, ideas are flowing, emotion is filling my soul. I am being taken to a new dimension. It’s all me: the painting, the material, the stroke, the splash of color, the rhythm.
What results is an appreciation which follows the progress of the creative work. I will leave that which pleases me and what I am not satisfied with will be transformed into a new effect. Finally, when I feel that the artwork is ready, there is a different emotion; very strong but very short in duration….the anxiety to start a new adventure, a new challenge, a new art piece is imperative.”
