Profile
Gabriela Sorondo is a university lecturer in the fields of chemistry and environmental sciences. She understands art as a way of explaining the world that is different from science, but has points in common with it. Art and science obey different logics, but in both there is a component of disruption, change, innovation and transformation of the world.
She understands her art as a search, a need to find the child artist (naive and unconditioned) that she was.
As an artist she has dabbled in ceramics, and currently her exploration has focused on watercolour. The technique appeals to her because of its untamed character. Watercolour happens as a struggle between the tensions that occur between pigment, water and paper, where the result is often uncertain and sometimes disconcerting. From this struggle between attractions and repulsions emerge the richness of nuances and textures that fit in a watercolour stain.
In the construction of his own language, he moves through the urban landscape, allowing himself to be dragged along Cartesian axes and vanishing points; the abstract landscape, where the stain takes the reins; and pictorial metaphors that swing between the concrete and the symbolic.
In art, as in science, he experiments, makes mistakes, gets it right, discovers, and always learns.
