Liliana Golubinsky and human nature

There are many ways of reading, especially in Art. There are thousands of ways of approaching what will be read and of apprehending it, so the intimate act of communion between the piece of art and you becomes an extraordinary experience. Attaining this is not something trivial, rather the sensitivities need to unite so that, once said communication through art is achieved, the emotional and intellectual enrichment is complete. Liliana Golubinsky (Buenos Aires, 1954) knows about this; she knows the purest way of transmitting the emotions that inspire an artist to perform his or her work, the ultimate purpose of the work of art. For us, the act of reading a certain composition of hers leads us to decode the values that imbue the principles of her artistic creation. With a long career trajectory and a perfectly defined personality, this time, the Argentinean artist develops a series of canvases that beg for contemplation, understanding and deep reflection. Her sketches of everyday stories, characterized by vivid and direct lines, speak of a way of understanding the painting that takes the real world as reference, that looks for the creative inspiration in life itself. But far from encouraging an escapist and affable atmosphere, Liliana faces the human condition in its entirety and reproduces, with equal chromatic intensity, varied themes that comprise different arguments. Thus, belic confrontation -a subject present on her works for some years now- finds the most accurate way of expression in her iconography. Evoking historical battles and characters, she mixes collage and pastels and builds scenes in which the characters seem to be automatons, immersed in an inexistent but burdensome space. A gallery of Trojan horses, generals, soldiers – that are, above all, defeated - arises before our eyes. All of them are accompanied by unintelligible texts, pieces of the automatic writing once caused by the pictorial ecstasy.
These images confront her paintings done on chairs and stools, always subtle, charismatic and exquisite. Genuine rests - especially for the soul- that offer a more playful view of existence. Argentinean dog walkers, mermaids, acrobats or lovers … all of them, depicted with a surprising intensity, coexist and discover the plural character of our nature, so human, so fragile.
