Imma Merino, the power of the naked and the evocation of the water.

Imma Merino explores the evocation of the naked, the ability to project what is suggestive evidence, contained in the fragility of beauty femenina.Exhibe naked bodies, fragments, breasts, female nudes in various different positions. In this context emphasizes the importance of shadows, the power of light and shade in a well-drawn artwork. Also includes the color, which blends with the shadows and bare, as if drops of water, noting the power of water, the force of the liquid element.

Everything is water, our body is made up almost 80% water and, because of the importance of the liquid element in all contexts, there is a series dedicated to nature. It is made up naked natural landscape that is water, since water is poured into a glass stretched through water pipes, rivers and the force of the waves until the water sources and forests, in the green base substrate, in the land. Always water, deliquescent element that dominates the world, exercising its power in any environment.

The water is naked, with shadows that highlight its presence in certain areas, when necessary, deliberate, because their shadows are colors, colorful, colors that show your strength, structure that comprises a direct reality.

Presents his male nudes in action, highlighting the activity, the movement, since they are always running a particular gesture. With respect to these female nudes are more contemplative, presents in the context of peace and repose, showing the beauty of form, increasing the power of the shadows with color settings, and suggest that wrapped with a cloak of mystery women in attitudes diverse.

Work detail, looking for reality, whereas the determination of the attitude, but also shows sketches, notes and drawings to their characters in the transience of the moment. While her paintings are more symbolic nurturing attitudes, especially the female nudes, deliquescent constructed scenarios, with shading, colors aqueous dematerialises really a naked body, which is out because, even if you're Imma perfection beauty.

Emphasizes attitude framed within the serene contemplation of life and the peculiarities of the existence, use of detail, to focus the composition, allowing Imma Merino investigate the run-time determination.

By chance, the strength of the moment is that which governs a work based on the classic canons, resulting in an attitude of study and determination. His determination is an envelope in which the most important thing is the strength of the moment, the breath of a moment in which everything flows like water.

"Today we want to explain everything. But if you could explain a table, would not be a masterpiece. The art must be indescribable and inimitable ........... The artwork should engage the viewer, engage and drag. In it the artist communicates his passion, is the current cast, which includes the viewer in it. "

Pierre Auguste Renoir

If art could be explained, as Renoir said it would no longer be art, because art is, feelings, emotions and experiences.

And today it is theorized that it is not good and the result is that many so-called works of art, need an instruction book to understand them and how sad is that no book can explain the feelings of the artist, who has felt the excitement in inside at the time that has dislumbrado the flame of inspiration.

For these and other reasons it is gratifying, comforting I would say, you can see, feel and enjoy a well thought out work that is lived and felt in the soul of the artist.

A work that excites us to contemplate it, without hesitation, that attracts us and surrounds us and wanted to drag and Renoir.

Imma Merino's work is an enjoyment for the senses and it is more so because we not rush into the work, allowing it to be part of us or us from it, to enjoy what the artist has shaped and able to perceive emotions that the artist felt at the time of its creation.

That's when you realize that the area painted by Imma Merino is just an excuse that the artist has used to let us know a world of sensations and feelings, a space that tells us that the work not just within the limits of the canvas, but they only show what the artist has taken for us to understand that beyond the table, still beautiful, still life, there are still feelings and emotions.

In the work of Imma Merino, are visible not only shapes and colors wisely placed by the artist but also his personal universe, the universe was born of his bowels and that gives us through his art, so that we become partakers of and we discover the results of their creative freedom.
