CRITICISTM CURATED BY ART MASTER MONICA ISABELLA BONAVENTURA

MonicArte . Artistic Criticism SARA MEDEA The depth of the unconscious . By Monica Isabella Bonaventura The unconscious is that unknown part of ourselves, thickened in sections in the forgotten oblivion of self-analysis, frustrated and almost desecrated, but sacred in the presence of those who manage to excite and make people stand out with their art and with their human-filled introspection , the care and immensity reflected in a work of art, a representation of the spotlight, of spiritual light with an extreme conception of rebirth and purification while remaining dark and closed in the first visual impact.

The artist Sara Medea chases, dissolves and disperses in each of her works the part that most symbolizes her soul, through the floating marine bodies or deviant alien figures, apparently imprecise, immature and incomplete in seeing them and in the intricate perception, just as if they wanted to transpire an image, a form, a semblance not directed at the observer, almost confused and tangled with powers and occultism, but equally profound with truth, reaching the point of magnifying the forms, with the colors and shades used, as an exemplary vastness of the abysses that hide in the artist's own disagreements.

For the painter, the abyss is like a unique, exciting experience, full of that unknown that hides behind the known which characterizes the incomplete and heterogeneous forms of her immense and almost imposing figures, as if they were welcomed into themselves by those circular and rounded shadows of a melancholic temperament hanging on the margins of a correlation between the exceptional mind and madness, the emblematic and rationality, escaping the conventional aesthetic cannons established in planning and previously by the artist herself for the application of the colors and of the forms studied and even before meditated on, an exaggerated correlation between the psyche and creativity.

Sara uses dark blue almost exclusively as a background, then using multiple shades that hermetically incorporate her imaginary "existential" bodies, giving them the privilege of perfectly pressing the light and sinuous movement of a helpless, disarmed and defenseless body, as if they caressed the tops of the marine and terrestrial surface. The attention and imagination that the artist places in each of his works seems to be repetitive and constant both in the forms and in the shades which sometimes vary from purple to green while remaining constantly homogeneous in the interpretation of the primary occluded and singular scenario. The artist seems to wander around looking for a foothold in her works, a security and study of gratification, a balance and analysis that walks on the edge of the imagination of what for her is perfection. The works join together without any problem as if they were continuing a logical thought, or in any case they can be seen in single doses from every angle because they are interrupted but not broken.

Sara's past is forgotten, purified in her paintings often executed on wooden boards, constant and replicated traps both for the colors and the shapes which, despite herself, lead back to a clear reading that the artist wants bring out its powerful and symbolic part of emotional greatness, a true release between clarity and the achievement of applause for one's intrinsic message from what can be tension and expressive energy.
