Artist Statement for Elena Osterwalder
|
|
|
When people leave their homeland, their home memories freeze in that instant, and without them realizing it both the country and the people progress in divergent directions. The external influences of the new country tend to be assimilated with the old ones and in “The Arts” form a new esthetic with components of both cultures. Years later the yearning for what was left behind takes a hold of them and forces them to look back.
In my case using components that have historical and spiritual value in the Mexican tradition, I strive to converge the various cultures that have influenced me and create a 21st century aesthetic.
Cuando uno deja a su país , el recuerdo de su país se congela en ese instante y no se da cuenta que tanto el país como el mismo progresan en direcciones divergentes. Las influencias del nuevo se asimilan con las antiguas y en “Las Artes” forman una nueva estética con componentes de las dos culturas. Años mas tarde cuando cree que ha incorporado ambas culturas, la añoranza de lo que ha dejado detrás toma mucha fuerza y lo empuja a mirar atrás.
En mi caso, uso componentes que tienen valores espirituales e históricos en la tradición Mexicana, y me esfuerzo a converger las varias culturas que me han influenciado y crear una estética del siglo 21.
