about

María Chillón (Ourense, 1982)

In each image, I try to capture a moment of life, to freeze it, to make it visible, to see its mystery. My goal is not to represent reality but to create volumes that reveal an ambiguous world, a herbarium/bestiary in which the tensions between the perceptions of my body and those of my mind confront each other. By creating forms that could, without being figurative, be part of possible worlds by their organic, animal or plant appearance; I want to search for the meaning of the shadows that are drawn to the second when my eyes close to materialize.
