Mujer Isla - An Abstract Collection, by Natalia Benet

ON VIEW THROUGH APRIL 19TH 


SHOW DESCRIPTION  

With pulses of symmetry, wrought iron, and blue earth, we can find poetry and romanticism within Mujer Isla - An Abstract Collection, by Natalia Benet. Roses orbiting a molten universe. Life in a tropical dreamscape beset with colonial architecture. The abstract configurations that constitute Ms. Benet’s Mujer Isla (Lady Island) are deeply personal reflections on coming of age in a Puerto Rican landscape, exemplifying how our environment can create and define an ethereal personal journey. Using nature as a muse to explore an era of modernity, Mujer Isla offers viewers unique sentiment and observations, and asks questions about life pursuits through an abstract Antillean eye. - The Curators, 81C, Charlotte Amalie 


ARTIST STATEMENT

“Places live through us. Layers of paint, peeling and creating textures on the walls. Giving life to the places we inhabit. Every town, street, and building has a history. Colors, patterns, lines, and objects. I create collages from memories that embody the experience of living in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean with a nostalgic frame. I create compositions that evoke the essence of places, customs, architecture, and objects of the Puerto Rican experience. This is achieved by the use of mediums like acrylics, aerosol, graphite, heavy impastos, layering and bright contrasting.”  - Natalia Benet, January 2023 


ARTIST BIO

Natalia Benet was born in San Juan. Her childhood memories exist between the translucent tides of Culebra and the mountainous ranges of Cayey. She began painting at an early age, something she learned from her grandmother. This now informs her practice and has become a motive behind the themes she works on.
