In Chora na praia Reynisfjara (Crying at Reynisfjara Beach), the encounter between the beautiful and the obscure manifests within the vastness of Iceland\u2019s volcanic sands, using this dramatic landscape as a metaphor for the geology of human emotions. The absolute contrast between the white foam and the black sand reflects the central dichotomy of my research: the beauty that dwells within the deep and the unknown.<\/p>\n
Here, the act of crying is interpreted as an alchemical and purifying process. By allowing itself to encounter sadness, the soul is not lost; instead, it bathes in its own shadow to emerge with a renewed vital force. It is the maturation of emotions transmuted into gesture: weeping becomes the portal to emotional intelligence, where pain is processed and converted into clarity of spirit.<\/p>\n
Through the espatulado (palette knife) technique, the work celebrates the instant in which consciousness emerges from the ashes of what has been lived, consolidating life through the acceptance and transcendence of the obscure.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ilyene Gontijo Dietz<\/a>","protected":false},"author":3130,"featured_media":393146,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"o","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_cat":[180,372,467],"product_tag":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/393140"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3130"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=393140"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=393140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
