(Paraná, Entre Ríos, 1968)

Florencia Sabattini

I am an Argentinian visual artist, I work in painting but also in ceramics, weaving and objects. These islands are not apart but connected between them. My life, training and work have developed in Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos, I can’t be one without the other, I live in Paraná.

 

Everything that surrounds me permeates the work: the Entre Ríos countryside, its native plants, the fruits, the garden. I care about the broad landscape in a moment of its appearance, my work presents an exuberant and vital world with an amplified color palette and gestures that go out of the screen.  

 

The world softens and the container fails. As it nears instability it sprouts and widens, the wraps become unstable, we feel the light’s drowsiness, fruits explode. I paint by pulling the paint into the swollen tree trunk, into the fruit, as though wanting to get into them. Everything can begin to be something else.

 

In several moments working on other supports accompanies the way of painting, in other my artistic practice comes from more abstract concepts: the ideas of scarcity-abundance, hindering-changing a sequence, creating a path that ends in robbery, forgetting or annulling a function. These autonomous criteria give place to works made up of various elements, in the form of visual poetry, they are narrations of actions that sew up the elements like a constellation.
