Arozarena De La FuenteAgave- Beautiful Prehistoric Plant Painting2021
2021
About the Item
This beautiful water color painting was done in the heart of Mexico City. The maguey plant dramatically blooms only once – at the end of its lifespan of up to 35 years. Its trunk-like stalk (quiote) rapidly grows up to one foot a day, soaring up to 40 feet high before its large yellow flowers bloom, and then the plant dies. If the flower stem is cut before it blooms, a sweet liquid (agua miel) accumulates at the center of the plant. The blues and greens in this painting are a perfect combinantion that resemble this magnificent plant found in the region.
It is painted upon a firmly made book canvass. These books were rescued from abandoned antique book stores around Mexico City and the artists decided to make the canvass out of them in order to give them a second life. It is easy to install for they come in separate wooden panels on the back and metal fixings for mounting.

Arozarena De La Fuente
Born in the heart of Mexico City, these two artists and industrial designers, Ampi Arozarena and Elena De La Fuente describe form and color as their core of exploration. They admire the dual identity the two elements create in their works of art. They are driven by the optical and physical sensation materials become on their unique canvasses. This artwork´s unique and neutral colors make it easy to blend perfectly well in any surrounding. The artistic collective began in 2016 and they have not stopped creating new pieces and exhibiting them internationally. Some of these exhibitions include: Design Week 2016, "El Hormiguero" at Lincoln Park, "Los 17 del 17" at Aura Galerías, Art United for Mexico (all art work was donated in order to fund the recontstruction of the city after the devastating earthquake), Art in Benefit of CONFE, "Sonder", Franz Mayer Museum 2018, "El grupo de los 16", "Drops" and Art Basel Miami 2019.

The two artists and industrial designers describe form and color as their core of exploration. They admire the dual identity the two elements create in their works of art.

'Towards Le Scathe Cove'. Contemporary mixed media landscape painting, Cornwall
Original Artwork, Unframed
_________________
January morning, heavy swell and a strong southwester, rain imminent, sheltering beneath lichen furred granite outcrops.
A plein air painting from the series 'Holan ha Dor' (Meaning 'Salt and Earth in Cornish). West Cornwall is a harshly beautiful peninsula, jutting out into the wild tireless ocean, shaped and moulded by powerful salt laden Atlantic winds, and criss-crossed by ancient, tangled hedgerows. Drawn to the immediacy of moments, underpinned by enduring narratives, Sophia's fluid expressive paintings explores the flux and balance in the nature of all things: The freedom of the air and solidity of the soil; Of anchored stone and rhythmic water; Of human narratives written in the wild landscapes; In the sensual interplay of light and shadow. They capture an essence of the equilibrium between wild raw energy and serene stillness; chaos and harmony; and the enduring and the effervescent.

About The Artist
Sophia Milligan is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist, exploring discourses on permanence & evanescence; the eternal, cyclical absolutes of birth & death; motherhood & childhood; and ancient immutable connections. With resonating ripples of intuition and instinct Sophia illuminates the presence of the ordinary, creating moments of sublime present.
'Born among the wild cliffs and tempestuous seas of west Cornwall, I grew with the intimate details in the twisting lanes and the intense changing light throughout the turbulent seasons. I formed a primordial connection with a deep instinctual sense of being part of the natural narrative, and wherever in the world I may be, this connectivity underpins my practice. Like the wind sculpted hawthorns and sensual coves of weather worn granite, I have been shaped by the powerful energy entwined in this ancient raw environment.’
‘We are the stories of the journeys that came before. I weave into my work the tales of transitory circumstance; of struggle and survival; of forms and textures holding records of evolutionary millennia. I paint, I draw: with marks, mixtures, photography, words; the raw earth; the restless oceans; the whispered breeze. I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within, giving subtleties of existence a pause for contemplation. There is beauty in such poignant breaths. All moments are significant, every pebble of now forms the vast mountain of yesterday, and the great realm of tomorrow's possibilities'.
Sophia has a 1st class honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Visual Arts and World History, and a Masters Degree in Contemporary Visual Arts. Her work is held in prestigious international private collections, and exhibitions of her interactive, immersive installation, photography and mixed media works include 'Tabula Rasa', London; 'Superlative', Plymouth; 'Transition', Newlyn; The Eden Project, Cornwall; The European Parliament, Brussels; Kew Gardens, London; and 'The Cameraless Film Festival', Chicago...
