The solo exhibition by Spanish artist Lucía Cristóbal Marín (*1984) is dedicated to her late father and artist Cristobal Higuera. The series “To my father” from 2014 was the starting point for the artist to explore and approach her father’s work. This resulted in a sequence of works whose processual structure represented a significant encounter for Lucía Cristóbal Marín’s work and life, from which she gained a deeper understanding of her artistic origins. The result was a constructive and progressive transformation of what painting means to the artist.
Interpreting a painting is a form of ownership.
It is a way of approaching a moment and a person.
For the artist, interpreting her father’s painting was a feeling with a tragic ending.
It is the end of a farewell.
It is the end of an encounter and the end as a new beginning.
It is the beginning of an attempt to tell something else in and about the picture.
It is the end where the picture ends and the idea of feeling begins.
It is the feeling of a still blurred image that has been dissolved and rebuilt.
It is the question of the necessity of the image itself.
Do we need the image to understand a fact or a feeling?
Perhaps not.
But we do need the idea of truth.
