Paola De Narvaez' work revolves around key themes that resonate throughout her various creations. Her ideas revolve around movement, the universality of our view of the world, and the completeness of the object through mental collaboration between the work and the public. This is expressed through the dynamism of form, fullness and emptiness, and the balance of forces that are the source of creation.
Fascinated by what ancient sculptures have represented for centuries, a source of re-evaluation of the beautiful, the absolute and the truth of form, she works with an aesthetic that comes from the academic and art-historical world.The artist studies the line of the eye, following the curves, fullness and smoothness of the works, but also the breaks and gaps.
Her works seem in suspense, waiting. Prisoners of the past but also of the future, Paola De Narvaez' immobile works abolish the real temporality between the ancestral and the new. The two worlds meet and question each other, with the public as witness.
The materials used are a direct reference to the object's durability. Ceramics and stone are the oldest vestiges of humanity. Can art survive the centuries? Can the work transcend the ages and bear witness to our current view of past worlds?
