PRIMEROS CUADROS SERIE DOS "DIALOGO DE REENCUENTRO"

 

INTRODUCCION: a mi propuesta artística y a mis obras de la serie “Diálogo de reencuentro” - Introduction to my proposal and my artistic works from the series “Dialogue of re-encounter”.

Introducción a mi propuesta artística y a mis obras de la serie “Diálogo de reencuentro”

 Después de una investigación de un año y medio, recientemente realicé una exposición de mis pinturas en la Galería de Arte Piso Dos, en Santiago de Chile, entre el 13 y 28 de enero de 2011.

Mi muestra se denomina “Dialogo de Reencuentro”. Esto significa el reencuentro de dos culturas, la Mapuche (chilena), y la China, a través de sus símbolos espirituales y artísticos (I Ching).

La exposición resultó exitosa, pues tuvimos bastantes visitas y difusión en los medios.

Este trabajo es el primer resultado y la primera etapa de la investigación y mi propuesta artística.

Las ideas universales que impulsan mi trabajo y determinan mi objetivo de materializar este reencuentro de manera artística son: Integración, Comunión, Unidad, rescatar nuestras raíces, comprender nuestra humanidad, entre otras.

Asimismo, me mueve el interés de indagar en las raíces del indoamericano, de Sud América, de Chile, de mi pueblo,  que es mi propio origen, finalmente.

De igual manera, fundamento  mi trabajo en el conocimiento y en  la convicción de que los conquistadores chinos llegaron a América, y se mezclaron con los indios que habitaban el continente., 2000 a 3000 años AC.

Basando mi propuesta artística también en la certeza que América del Sur, es un continente muy espiritual, como lo es Asia, especialmente China, en este caso, luego encontré la conexión entre ambas culturas, a través de la simbología espiritual, ya que ambas culturas  la trabajan de forma artística.

De esta manera puedo definir el estilo de mi trabajo artístico como simbólico y conceptual.

Introduction to my proposal and my artistic works from the series “Dialogue of  re-encounter”.

 After an investigation of a year and half, I  did recently an exhibition of my paintings in  Piso Dos Art Gallery, in Santiago de Chile, between 13 and 28 of January 2011.

My exhibitions name’s “Diálogo de Reencuentro” Dialogue of  re-encounter”. Means the  re- encounter of two cultures, the Mapuche (Chilean) and the Chinese, through  their symbolisms. Spiritual and artistic symbolisms.

The exhibition had a great success, because we had a great number of visits and diffusion in the mass media

This artwork is the first results and the first part of my artistic proposal and investigation.

The universal ideas  that impulse my work and determine my objective to materialize this  re encounter in an artistic way, are: Integration, Communion, Unity, Reunion, to rescue our roots  (raices) to understand our humanity.

Likewise, moves me the interest to inquire into the roots of american indian, of south america, of  Chile, of my people. What is my own origin, finally.

Also I support my work in the knowlwdge and convictions that the chinesse conquistadores arrived in America and being mixede with the indian that lived in the continent. Between 2.000 to 3000 year before the Christian era.

I base my work, besides, in the convinctions that South America is a very spiritual continent  as the Asiatic, particulary as China, in this case. Then,  I found the connection through the spiritual symbolism because both of this cultures work it  in the artistic way.

Therefore, I can to define my artistic style like Symbolistic (Symbolic)  and conceptual.

SERIE: "Biografía Espiritual" ILUSTRACION DIGITAL - Spiritual biography- Part of my art process. Fernanda Rojas Páez

            This is a photo montage I made in 2009 to show the process which I lived during the previous investigation to define my artistic proposal. Could say it is my spiritual biography. I did it with personal photos.
           I make it public for those persons interested in knowing me better, and  understand my artwork. And, as always, with the intention that it would be  useful for anyone to understand itself (or) a little more.

First Picture - Origin

-"Origin" represents the time when my spirit begin to set. At this moment many magical and sweet  images play around a baby who just feel the love of her yaya "Granny" Mapuche, her mother and the presence of guardian angel. Do not see the smog, or a distant Araucaria. Neither understands the pain that is in the apartment, where the father is only in a picture. This begins to weave the loom. "
        Characters in this picture. My lovely and beautiful mother. A Mapuche Granny's identified as Virginia, my yaya. The guardian angel (inevitable in the infancy of the children of Catholic families in Chile). Back in the windows of the apartments is a picture of my father. An excellent man, lawyer, politician. He died after 6 days I was born. I met him only through photographs.

Second Picture- To Awaken

           In "To Awaken", a smile decorating the face of the girl. She is entertaining and sometimes amazed at all the happy bubbles that dance around. The wise turtle I Ching, begins to have more presence, Indian religions are interesting, Buddha is wise, the yaya’s  kultrún is also important. Love will save the world!.           I found a lot of faith in my way, many idols, many gurus, many teachers, holy, spiritual guides. They instilled in me faith that humanity had hoped.

Third Picture - Motherhood

            - Between heaven and earth are individual beings (Confucius, I Ching). The land materialize what creates heaven. The mother has the strength and docility of a horse on earth. The father has the power of a dragon who lives in the real world and fantasy world. She  contains the world in her womb. In the Turtle I Ching shell I possible to read the oracle. The mother earth receives and gives his wise teaching.-

         After many trips, I received the motherhood. It was and it is my happy and wonderful landing to reality, to the ground. In the picture I am cradling my oldest daughter. We are knowing each other. This has been the same  with my other three children.

Fourth Picture- Coins

       "Money makes the world go round". In a few coins are fired weapons, in a  coins children cry from hunger and are abused,  in some coins Jesus is crucified, and the war continues, and broken dreams. Love does not save the world, coins make the world go round. In some coins the yaya is persecuted, Buddha is banished, the turtle is hidden, the mother cries.

The landing on earth also show me this painful reality. I think the movie Cabaret (a classic with Liza Minelli), interpret very well that feeling.

Fifth Picture - Death and rebirth 

"Death and rebirth. " The pain of the world it is mine, and my pain belongs to the world. Everybody crying the pain world, everybody cry  it is own pain. My spirit is shocked. People crying and screaming pain. The spirit drowns in blood and tears, cries rend the earth... Until the spirit begins to reconcile with reason.
As also found this in earthly reality, I had to mourn all of it. I had to get to the bottom of my pain to be reborn and to give to me, and  my children, this pain processing.

Sixth Picture-White Orchids

White Orchids get the last drops of pain and love drunk the spirit. It is the beginning of the new building of the spirit. The beauty is real. In the inner self, thousands friendly and magical images entertain and accompany the heart. There is the mapuche sacred wisdom, the Sufis, the I Ching, God. It is possible to weave these strands white, it is possible to weavethe loom.

This journey into the pain brought me back to my inner self, seeking a reconciliation with the world. They were my beautiful children, friendly hands,  friendly voices, who helped me in this work.

Seventh Picture- Eclipse

It is producing an eclipse of both worlds, the Mapuche and the Chinese by the I Ching. Both merge slowly, giving colours, symbols, multiple images, and they can live in peace.

The spirit is happy and growing harmony. The Mapuche weaving looms with the hexagrams of the I Ching, begin to be woven into a single network.

Finally my inner world being harmonized with the external. I recognized and accepted my origin, my earthly reality, my spiritual reality.

Eight Picture - Communion

Communion occurs between the two worlds, they are  integrated into a loom in a cross, the hexagrams of I Ching and the Mapuche sacred symbols. Thus harmonious integrate the spirit of "Granny" my yaya, the Ave Phoenix, the holy Kwan Yin, the kultrún, white orchids, the Chinese warrior, the teacher Confucius, Jesus. Many symbols, and spiritual sacred images are integrated in communion.

I also take communion. I receive this truth in me and for me.

Ninth Picture- Totality

The magic loom begins to weave, the hexagrams of the I Ching, the Mapuche symbols are   in perfect harmony, perfect peace. They can live together in the spirit and in the inner self as well. One or the other are sometimes transparent, sometimes stronger, but grow out from the heart, enlightened by God in this construction of the spirit, my spirit.
So in that form I begin this integration of this two cultures. As I say, I begin to weave the loom. And I begin to realize the first part of the "Dialogue of Reunion ", which I showed in my recent art exhibition.

Thanks for read this.

Greetings
