LANDSCAPE TURNED INTO PAINTING


Gloria Merino's painting is developed with the insistent study of the landscape carefully observed centimeter by centimeter.

She paints what her sight encompasses, covering the canvans with the necessary pigment so that her marks are formally consistent and significant. With this “whole system” the landscape becomes  itself painting , acquiring an autonomous form that exist  aside from local anecdote.

Gloria Merino gives a good precedent for painting as an object beyond superfluous decoration, to invite us to a serious and stimulating consideration of the landscape as a good painting.

 From the chaos established by man in the bowels of our territory, the drawings create a symbolic universe in which the intrinsic wisdom of nature is able to  restore harmony on earth and in human consciences.
