Elisa de la Torre (1990) - Maia

ABOUT THE ARTWORK - Litography on fedrigoni paper. - Hand signed and numbered. - Delivered carefully packaged and with a certificate of authenticity. - Beloning to the artistic project 'Pleiades', exhibited in Spain in 2016. THE STORY BEHIND The objective of Pleiades is to make a proposal that brings into play the element of figurative creation from ambiguous elements such as the stars. This exercise has been carried out since the beginning of time, when primitive men, observing the starry sky, joined the stars to form figures and traced drawings, creating constellations. Pleiades shows a figurative interpretation of seven different constellations created from the cluster of stars called Pleiades or The Seven Sisters. The Pleiades were seven sisters from Greek mythology, daughters of the titan Atlas and the sea nymph Pleione. As a result, in the set of constellations formed by the mythological nude, the self-portrait of the artist reflected in the work itself, becomes part of this mythological story and related to its protagonists who, being several sisters are, in essence, the same figure. A plurality of constellations and figures that make up a single one. ABOUT THE ARTIST Elisa de la Torre (Madrid 1990) is an artist who lives and works in Madrid. She has studied Fine Arts at Western Ontario University in Canada, Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid and RCM School of Printmaking. In 2015 she won the 1st Artist Book Prize of the Villa de Móstoles.
