BIOGRAPHY
PRESS RELEASE
Inspired by the complexities of the sphere and its profound significance in our universe, Solyagua has experimented in the darkroom, projecting light through a combination of liquids onto photographic paper producing images of distant worlds that exist for a matter of seconds. These elegant images play with our perceptions of light and dark, liquid and solid, time, distance and scale. Solyagua's photographs can be viewed as invitations to contemplate the beauty of the natural world. They can also be interpreted as emblematic metaphors for isolation and the encapsulated realities in which we live. Suggesting the invisible by focusing on the visible, Solyagua constructs an enigmatic bridge between the micro and macrocosmic world. Her small-scale liquid concoctions also help us to reflect on the mystery of the cosmos and the delicate balance in which our world exists.
