TINTACHINA / INDIAN INK

This is the proposal of a self-taught, Mercedes Resino, Madrid and versatile artist based in Barcelona, which has never set foot in an art class and that, however, lead pigments in the blood of a family of artists, and by vocation spends his soul moving outward toward the expression.

China Series was born in 2003 in an unpredictable way, \"was an attack minimalist and monochromatic illuminator\" that pass from the contemplation of an iconography of China, where the look of Mercedes saw movement, people, something alive. It was an allusion to the calligraphic forms of Chinese and Japanese alphabet. Thus arose the idea of recreating released by the forms, and how to abstract figuration. To this we must add that the drawings are made with ink and, both, inevitably give the series title.

China Series has evolved and is now in full development, reveling in more complex concepts, where color inks are converging with other components bringing new skin to what began as a simple black spot. Many of these early figures have progressed impregnated with textures like stone, inviting them to see a tinge of sculpture. And this has only just begun.

His drawings are guided by passion, by an irrational impulse, born of an outburst of hand, body, intuition, without a mind to intervene, \"I\'m not even in the creative process, is a force that through me\" \"says the artist,\" because art does not think, only manifest \"

Living with art as a mirror and looks like a breeze passing through the fringes of the idea, it is again, in painting minimalist Mercedes Resino an incentive for the imagination of the viewer. Their characters open doors to imagination, invite us to imagine situations, scenarios, solitude and company. Just a few strokes, fine china ink blots suggest, rather than show - a tiny life on paper.

The spatial relationship between the viewer of the work itself, is close to the point of reversing the visual field of view was an introspective journey. It provides, therefore, inevitable internal dialogue, a feeling that caresses the unconscious.
