"Exploring the World Through Your Eyes" from the series "Ephemeral Essence Diaries." I find the innate ability of children to marvel at the simple and everyday things to be constantly captivating. I have captured that moment of discovery with the intention of reminding us of the importance of keeping curiosity alive throughout life. I am an avowed fan of Matisse. I love how he captured the essence of form through his silhouettes. His ability to reduce shapes to their most basic elements inspires me, perhaps due to my extensive background in the world of design. I will never know which came first, the chicken or the egg. In my portrait, I have used this synthesis to represent the face in a semi-abstract manner, freeing it from superficial details and highlighting the lines and shapes in its contour. I have taken it a step further to play with your senses and create a dual language: I am fascinated by how our brains tend to organize and group visual elements to form a coherent image. I have played with concepts as full and empty space, proximity, similarity, and continuity to guide your perception and create a dialogue between the different parts of the portrait. By doing so, I invite you to actively participate in the experience of the artwork, discovering new forms and details as your perception adjusts and reconstructs itself.

artist statement “I explore the essence of ART: I am intrigued by the motifs of the works that endure over time, and those that fall into oblivion. I live art as a timeless conversation where not everything is said, where the essential is precisely the unspoken. There are some things in life that are just too hard to put into words. They're so deep and meaningful that they go beyond what language can express. And it's exactly those things, the unsaid, the little shared moments that draw you in and make you a part of the art. When you experience a piece of art, it's like this secret language between you and the artist. You become a vital player, an enthusiastic collaborator in the whole artistic experience. And that's the kind of art that sticks around. That's the kind of art I strive to create in every single piece I make. This conversation we could be having right now, you in front of an artwork, it's like magic. It breathes life into the artwork, making it a forever item. With every interaction, with every different person who engages with it, the art is reborn and finished all over again. It's a beautiful dance between the artist, the artwork, and the viewer, each bringing their own unique touch to the mix. That is what I finally intend when I create my art: I want you to be an active part of my living work. BIO Begoña Lafuente is a versatile artist in the realms of painting, graphic design, and multimedia. Her artistic career was initially grounded in graphic design, which she honed in Madrid during the early 1990s. Begoña skillfully weaves her classical artistic education, holding a degree in Fine Arts, with her commitment to staying at the forefront of evolving art forms. In 2009, she embarked on a new chapter in the Netherlands, where she connected with local and international artists from diverse disciplines. This cross-cultural experience became an integral part of her art, merging seamlessly with the rich tradition of the Spanish school. Begoña's creative palette encompasses an array of techniques, including painting, collage, drawing, photography, scans, and monoprints. Her work consistently features the human face as a symbol of humanity. Her semi-abstract portraits blur the boundaries between the familiar and the abstract, capturing the essence of individuals in elegant simplicity, transcending mere photographic likeness. By amalgamating the recognizable with the abstract, her creations generate emotional and visual tension.
