21 May 09 IN THE SPOTLIGHT. WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND IN HISTORY: LEONORA CARRINGTON

Plastic artist, writer, thinker and playwright, among many other things, Carrington was one of the most relevant artists in the field of surrealism. Her trajectory was always marked by her eventful biography, which made her an eccentric and tragic person. But her work cannot be interpreted only as the manifestation of an unstable mind. Quite the contrary, she is the fruit of an extraordinary imagination, creator of an aesthetic, symbolic and conceptual world that is not always easily decipherable. Her paintings, her drawings, writings, tapestries or sculptures speak of aspects of the human being – fear, pain, joy, strangeness or happiness – in a direct way, which challenges and confronts our own certainties. and uncertainties.
