Mercedes Elizalde

In my work of self-knowledge through my painting; the mistakes that make me different, unique.
Making it public makes it real also for others, who observe the result.
I want to link life with difficulty, error, and the need to include it as part of the process.
Error reassures us, we are not perfect machines, it defines us, models us, identifies us. It leads us to be humble, compassionate.
If we admit the error in others and in ourselves, we download the world of anxiety.
My painting is trusting, respectful, grateful and committed.
I get the most out of my hands that connect with my head. My emotions lead me into a chaos that I can't control with reason. I question my existence, I let myself arise among the doubts.
I define myself as a “seeker of light”.
