Inma Fierro

Inma Fierro - Still life

Technique: Mixed (acrylics, oil sticks and conté crayons)

Artist Biography: Trained at the University of Seville, her hometown since 1985, and Barcelona, her background is extensive if we count the various European cities where she has lived (Florence, Berlin, Brussels) and the various artistic residencies she has done (Lisbon, Cantabria, Slovenia). All this experience and learning has helped her to come into contact with the gallery and commercial circles from a very early age, as well as to make friends with different artists of the national and international scene. The leitmotiv revolves around the female gender, memory and the passage of time. Her Theme is expressed, at times, through collage, gesture, and even words; and the light comes from the memories of her native Andalusia.Since her beginnings, the color of this young artist has expressed thoughts and moments of her personal life through plastic matter. It is through this where the motif makes sense and her discourse is filled with symbolism from a particular language. An autobiographical work always rooted in the everyday and the human being in general.

 

The Garden This new series was born as all series are born: accumulation of determined circumstances and links of concepts that speak of life experience. The flower, the fruit, what is born and evolves, symbol of life itself, of energy, what breathes and develops, the painting. It is through concepts associated with the vital and the feminine that "The Garden" proliferates in the figuration of different plants (lilies, chrysanthemums, roses, sunflowers or water lilies) that are conjugated in the expression through a vibrant, colorful, almost sonorous palette. These plants and these colors are at the same time full of symbolism and even mystery for the artist herself. It is born from a main work called "Magna" where the "seed" is presented, which later conjugates the themes of women in another work such as "Lilicam". These works are the result of the search for iconological concepts, from the "Dictionary of symbols" by E. Cirlot, but then, without premeditation, evolve to combine an existential depth that refer to classic discourses of memento mori and baroque still lifes (Inma Fierro's work "Still Life"). The Garden tells us about life, smiles, spring, first love, growth, sincerity, inevitability, death...; always through the eyes of a woman, of the female gender, of the personal vision and the meditated discourse that invites to a reflective look, to an observation to think. Inma Fierro Inma Fierro (Los Palacios, Seville, 1985) She uses painting as a means of expression of ideas, feelings, personal statement, a continuous evocation of memory. She began her studies of Fine Arts in Seville to finish them in Barcelona where she also completed a Master of Artistic Creation. He extended his training in different cities such as Berlin, Florence or Brussels and participates in different artistic scholarships such as Tempus de Vista collective (Lisbon) or Art Cicle Club (Slovenia). Fierro has spent years in the Spanish art scene betting on a painting that combines two important schools of expression: Sevillian academicism and Catalan avant-garde. That is why his works are developed through color and image in a particular way, where he has created his own language, with a discourse incident in the promotion of thought and sensitivity, and where through the everyday and his own experiences he reorganizes his inner world to tell us about the vital. She herself quotes it as follows: "I use the plastic form as a means of expression of ideas, of feelings, of personal statement, a continuous evocation of memory (...) I physically materialize my current positioning in the here and now, taking the past as a reference, building a present reflection for the future".
