Ana Patitú (1982) - Butterfly

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
‘You look like a bloke with that back’ is the phrase that motivated the artist to create this painting. Ana has chosen an athlete swimming butterfly, a difficult style but one whose name evokes subtlety and fragility. The position and framing of the human figure are intentional. The colour palette denounces the pink-for-girls/blue-for-boys stereotype.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Ana Patitú was born in 1982 in Argentina, where She worked as a graphic designer for over 15 years. In 2016, She moved to Barcelona for love, but the feeling of being uprooted led me to enrol in swimming classes, where She began to feel more connected to myself. She returned to painting, my true passion, and turned it into my profession, exploring the human figure as a vehicle for emotions and the different moods I have experienced. Ana has presented her work in solo exhibitions in Madrid and Barcelona, and I have participated in several group exhibitions at the Esther Montoriol, Jordi Barnadas and Sara Caso galleries, as well as in the Art For Life project (Chicago, USA). Her works are also part of numerous private collections in America, Europe and Australia.
