The painting on silk [1981] was a way to celebrate the beauty of the island we lived in. The work with clay since 1988 was used as a visual meditation to explore, express, discover what we are. I returned to painting [2002] to use color as light, as energy, to continue working in the manner the clay had taught me. The work with copper [2005] was a way of compiling in book form the images and themes developed with the clay and oils, and later became a means of further developing them.

Song of the Earth. Sisyphus - Loose Etchings. Strata of time, of Memory. The source of the images etched on the copper plates come from paintings and low relief works in clay where thoughts, emotions, events, moments, epiphanies are recorded. In this manner, the plates become movable symbols, which will become a part my language. The etchings which were a way of compiling and recording the images created in the course of a year, became a means of developing them further to uncover their deeper meaning.

If the clay is work with the earth, weight, gravity, firings. Painting is a dreamlike meditation of color, energy, light, music, free of time, space and matter. A painting is a window where one can glimpse a traveling moment. The canvas is a surface on which thoughts arise and are transformed, it is a way to center, find the balance and harmony of life. 2015 - Mariana Alzamora. Designed by PeruAD.com.
