About the Item

The artist’s specialty consists of calligrams or images created out of text achieved in large part by her fascination with drawing. Salas statement is that drawing is a complete art itself and not a procedure. This unique piece freehand creation represents her interest in paying homage to drawing through calligrams, combined with her passion for marble sculptures. In this case, Giulio Monteverde’s angel sculpture was the reference for the composition of the delicate range of lights and shadows interpreted by a diverse saturation of patrons/words which correspond to the verses of a poem written by her (in her native language spanish): ¨When flying Land is renounced Feathers: threads of faith Footprints Stability On the undertaken flight Liberty Is pursued The bigger the sky Greater The Loneliness That's why the longing manifests To shorten the distance With The smile of a friend The navel of a baby So much light dazzles heats up dehydrates Mirages Roulette Seesaws substances It's thirst of he who seeks freshness At sea The more you drink from the sea You feel More thirst cause less is true Blissful the one who returns to the shadow while remaining loyal to himself One without fear to owe anybody To Know what he could have achieved in the sun Of rosy cheeks The height is a desert Simple beauty It is understood in solitude A confinement is then So much freedom All that freedom! It's the flight Deep inside A duel of the mind A simple truth I never knew how to fall Just there in the right place I never knew how to fit in Without feeling disloyal But from higher skies I have fallen And from higher skies I will fall To let go is to fall With more faith More modesty… When flying Land is renounced Feet are abandoned Stability wings Solitary Eagles kiss the sky Lonely muses Dream The sea
