Statement
Carolina Barros' work focuses on parallel research in printmaking, painting and video. A game that dialogues between the rational and the playful, in the selection of modules that form patterns of new structures, or new relationships between existing structures. The "illusory space" appears, the variable forms of kineticism and the tension between dualities: geometry and chance, reality or illusion, light and shadow, full and empty, monochrome and color. In the plastic image of the work appears the third dimension, where individual forms become independent to form part of a new weightless space. In the play of superposition between solid opaque and translucent supports, the light source, the space and the viewer's point of view take an active part in the perception of the work.
