BIO
Ginger is a self-taught spanish artist in love with the singular and mysterious.
Her work explores feelings and emotions represented mainly by nonhuman animals, amulets, symbolic references and female figures without facial identification that cohabit in a very personal oniric and imaginary world. These characters recreate situations, fears, desires and hopes that can only be deciphered by an imaginative vision capable of capturing the message hidden beneath the surface, all wrapped in a universe of magic and secrecy that allows her feelings to surface timidly without exposing them In its whole.
Her work contains many references and a generational wink to those born in the 70s and 80s, through vintage toys, and iconic objects from that era. References that together with the main characters, tell us stories expressed through allegories resulting from an inner world developed from a childhood linked to the stories and tales of authors of the XVIII and XIX century such as the brothers Grimm, Perrault or Hans Christian Andersen among others, authors who were her first contact with what a few years later, in her younger age, would be an unconditional love for fiction and fantasy, both in literature and cinema. .
That imagery of her childhood and youth, together with a mysterious and captivating aesthetic are the tools through which the artist tells us her personal experiences, her interpretation of life, in occasions revealing vulerability or nostalgia and always communicating emotions, through a visual narrative, which is the heart of her work.
Her ability to develop an oniric representation of her inner world through painting responds to an emotional need that was born in the beginning as a purely personal project, though soon It would wake up the curiosity of the observer, attracted by that special symbiosis that the creatures of her works seem to share.
Ginger intentionally invites viewers to identify themself with her paintings, to be reflected in some way in her fascinating world, to discover the questions hidden among layers of paint and find their own answers.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in various galleries of the surrealist pop scene since 2012.
