The pictures of Raquel Fariñas are presented before our eyes with an almost naive simplicity. We find in them elements of nature reduced to their most synthetic features, primitive games of perspective, and geometric frames as agglutination of those elements dispersed by the painting in apparent chaos.
Her work is full of universal symbols belonging to the imaginary of traditional culture of all time; with them, and her masterful use of color and composition, she manages to unleash her deepest vital concerns.
Her paintings, of great chromatic beauty, are complex but harmonious compositions that convey goodness and serenity. The calm that is reached after effective art therapy.
As an art therapist, Raquel Fariñas uses her artistic creations as personal therapy, which helps her reflect on life and on her own existence, reducing highly complex thoughts to the most essential pictorial expression. The sun and the moon; the earth, the wind and the sea; plants and flowers; the fish, and the birds; the characters that fly chasing their dreams, sometimes so difficult to reach; and the world upside down are part of her pictorial universe.

Raquel Fariñas
Raquel Fariñas, Spanish artist, is very famous as an illustrator of the childish comtes. The artist says, “My paintings are the medium that I dispose off to reflect on the reality beyond rational knowledge, to portray the beauty I always seek. When I paint, every element of the reality I am depicting is revealed as a carrier of truth and beauty, which confers them a different sense than its mere appearance or utility. At this conceptual plane, everything is interrelated and I notice another existence that I’m unable to explain with words. Then, everyday life makes sense because I experience, like Rodin, that ‘it exists, above all, what the greatest part of people does not know to see: the unknown depths, the foundations of life’. So, what I can not express in concept, I do it with images, and it is here where the world of symbols appears; the concepts of unveiling and hiding are connected in a symbol. Symbols, myths, dreams reveal what escapes from immediate experience, to consciousness. This is how I create shapes in my art work. In a tree I find the Natural Law of Development and Growth. In the circular, round, the Cyclical Law of the Sun and the Moon, and their celestial movements; the cycles of food and water. Also the fabrics are important: everything is weaved, linked. There is no opposition between up and down, the one is a reflection of the other. To see and to contemplate is not the same. When I paint I attempt to contemplate, and I give this contemplation to other people, who will transform my signs in symbols and my symbols in signs. I never ask to follow my interpretations. You, the viewer, are the creator of a new meaning.”

"Dancers resting VII". Impressionist interior scene with two girls. Oil on panel
By Iain FAULKNER
Located in Segovia, ES
"Dancers resting VII". Impressionist interior scene with two girls. Oil on panel
Measurements in centimeters: 61 x 61 cm / In inches 24.02 x 24.02 “
Framed: 78 x 78 x 4 cm. / In inches 30.71 x 30.71 x 1.57 "
This artwork , signed IF in the left down corner, by the author Iain Faulkner, is a very well studied composition with two dancers, dressed in blue color, lying on a beautiful mosaic floor with gold border, having a rest. The circle design of the mosaic, the figures in three quarters in parallel; opposite the postures, the suits, and the colors blue and flesh. This complementation above and below, and to the left and right of the painting, gives the painting a surprising composition and excellent balance.
Despite the thick brushwork, the author achieves a very subtle effect in the definition of the two beautiful figures and very successful effects of light and shadow.
Iain Faulkner acknowledges the influence on his painting of artists such as Sargent, Degas, Whistler and, especially, Vermeer, showing scenes with figures performing everyday tasks while lost in thought, like this two dancers.
This piece was originaly purchased from Albemarle Gallery in London.
