Title: Trail of Water II Blue....Trails of Water I Green also shown. Edition: #28 of 50 image size: 73 x 41 cm / 28,7 x 16,1 “ Paper size: 106 x 78 cm / 41,7 x 30,7 “ Medium: Original Hand signed Etching Paper: Hahnemühle 300 gms Year: 2018 Three copper plates are used to create Trails of Water II. Two for color and one for the embossed areas. Patricia Claro was born in Santiago, Chile (1960). She studied Visual Arts (2006) and Design (1983), both at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. From 1981 to 2009, she participated in workshops by various artists where she studied painting and engraving techniques. The decision to study a second major (Visual Arts), after a long period of experimenting with different techniques, consolidated a stage of artistic and theoretic formation. This incited a painting and video work which lead to a new approach towards the theme of landscape. She is conducting a visual investigation on the theme of landscape and water as the infinite source of images. Her personal interpretation of this scenario in movement is the result of a rigorous experimental study of the dual quality of water and its reflections. She proposes new expressive possibilities, emphasizing her particular vertical view towards landscape which demonstrate the capacity of water to reflect the environment. By investigating water’s behavior from a personal perspective, Patricia Claro places in this resource –a national and world heritage– the object of her research, focusing on the creation of new crosses and views in relation to the landscape, specifically the landscape reflected in freshwater; liquid landscapes. The water chosen by the artist belongs solely to 0.0002% of the planet’s waters, which frames her investigation in the context of the water crisis at a national and global level and recreates freshwater sources through images that convey its physicality and specular ability through dynamism between light, the background and the environment, using the metaphor of overflow in her frames.
