SINES / PORTUGAL – GENTES E LUGARES Vivo em Sines numa das mais bonitas zonas litorais do sul de Portugal. Aqui pinto e dou aulas de pintura. Realizei algumas exposições de pintura e participei em concursos internacionais. Procuro constantemente desenvolver conhecimentos através de cursos e frequência universitária em Estudos Artísticos. O que pinto, onde procuro inspiração? Pinto o que Vejo e Amo. Pinto a luz e a cor, as gentes e os lugares. Inspira-me toda esta envolvência de vida e de cor que transporto para o meu trabalho em óleo, aguarela, pastel seco, carvão e técnicas mistas. Porque aceito desafios agradeço à ARTBOX PROJECTS esta oportunidade de divulgar e mostrar o meu trabalho. SINES / PORTUGAL – PEOPLE AND PLACES I live in Sines in one of the most beautiful coastal areas of southern Portugal. Here I paint and give painting lessons. I have done and some painting exhibitions and participated in some international competitions. I constantly seek to develop my knowledge through some courses and university attendance in Artistic Studies. What do I paint and where do I look for inspiration? I paint what I See and Love. I paint the light and the color, the people and the places. Inspires me all this surroundings of life and color that I carry for my work in oil, watercolor, dry pastels, charcoal and mixed techniques. Because I accept challenges, I thank ARTBOX PROJECTS for this opportunity to promote and show my work.

Historia de una abstracción inducida es la obra de Ricardo Aparicio, representado por Alicia Rey Gallery y la Galería Orfila de Madrid. En esta muestra, Aparicio presenta una serie de obras de diversos formatos, llenas de colores vibrantes que cautivan al espectador. La evolución artística del autor es fundamental, ya que ha dejado atrás la abstracción figurativa para enfocarse en una abstracción más pura, a la que denomina "inducida". Su intención va más allá de ofrecer lienzos con acrílicos; busca compartir una idea a través de su estado de ánimo. En esta etapa, los títulos de las obras son cruciales, actuando como guías que facilitan la conexión entre el espectador y la obra, sin imponer una interpretación única. A diferencia de su trabajo anterior, donde una tonalidad daba vida a imágenes superpuestas, Aparicio ahora aspira a que el espectador no solo observe, sino que se involucre emocionalmente, despertando su mundo interior a través de sus pinturas abstractas. La búsqueda del artista es abordar nuestro interior y lograrlo mediante su pincelada de color, creando una complicidad marcada con el observador. Almudena Ríos, periodista e historiadora de arte, destaca esta propuesta única en su obra.

“… Levantar al mundo. Para lograrlo, hacen falta gestos, hacen falta deseos, hacen falta profundidades...” Georges Didi Huberman Desde pequeña la pintura fue algo casi co-natural para mí, la pintura figurativa me proporcionó durante años cierto grado de certidumbre en cuanto a los resultados, y una manera de manejar emociones que me sigue siendo efectiva, pero las preguntas ante la observación de mi entorno aún necesitaban respuestas y quizá por ello estudié y me titulé como Filosofa en la Universidad Panamericana paralelamente al inicio de exposiciones en México y en el extranjero. Emociones y pintura – Pensamiento y Filosofía siempre conectados, no es distinto en mi proceso creativo… Incursionar en la pintura abstracta me ha enseñado de una manera más visible como confluyen el gesto primigenio que nace de la emoción y la intencionalidad que busca dar corporeidad a la fuerza que impulsa el auto-conocimiento y la búsqueda de la libertad. Me ha enseñado también a lidiar con la angustia de la incertidumbre, a conciliar y encontrar belleza en la complementariedad de los opuestos, el valor de los matices que empoderan los contrastes, a encontrar la belleza y la esperanza en el aparente caos que precede a una buena obra…. Se parece mucho a lidiar con la vida misma y sus misterios y es en ello en donde encuentro fascinación y el valor de su conectividad. Itziar Ramírez Elizondo

Since I left my country Argentina in 1986 to live in Melbourne and later in Barcelona, I have focused on painting as much as in my own career as a Computer Scientist. By travelling around the world I was inspired by the strong artistic culture of all the countries that I have visited, especially by the surroundings in Spain, tango music in Argentina, as much as by the Spanish painters, like the Modern Catalán Masters Miró, Tapiès, Picasso and Salvador Dalí. From these influences, I developed an aesthetic for not only painting but also music, architecture, interior decoration and furniture design. I am mainly an Abstract Painter and my technique is based on building textures as well as layers of colour of different depth. I use different media; mainly oil, acrylic, cold wax and encaustic, and only experiment with techniques that allow me to express myself with freedom and without any boundaries.

Sheila Toledo Ribes holds a Fine Arts degree from the University Politécnica in Valencia and has completed two master's programs in Glass Arts at the IKKG University in Germany. Currently, she is pursuing doctoral research on art and psychosis. Her experience spans art and psychiatric institutions in both Germany and Spain, and her work has been exhibited in various museums across Europe, the United States, Cuba, and South America. Her art explores the themes of narcissism and psychosis prevalent in contemporary society, highlighting the pathological effects of societal stress, which manifest as anxiety, depression, and a loss of self. The proliferation of new media and communication, along with current food policies, creates an illusion of normalcy, masking deeper psychological turmoil that breeds phobias and insecurity. This phenomenon resembles a high-speed train fueled by rampant consumerism, as nations reflect upon the American model, resulting in a fragmented, insect-like division of labor. Toledo Ribes’ artistic foundation critiques the destructive impact of global media, addressing narcissism as a social consequence and collective psychosis as a reflection of our fragile consciousness within a "glass society." Her work invites viewers to confront the underlying issues that threaten our mental well-being in an increasingly disconnected world.

Zinjé teaches us dissident spatial thinking. He offers new experiences because of the way in which he divides a particular space. Divergent perspectives of a well known space and visual discovery of its different manifestations, alter our own perception and thus our thinking of this space. Looking at a marine by Zinjé, one is compelled to think differently about ‚sea‘. Furthermore his marines offer a powerfull metaphor. How intense can a marine be? When you look at Zinjé‘s sea, you are included in feminine ethos. With unparalleled skill he creates an immersion in motion, freshness and a caress of skin and water.

Sica's POWER artwork transcends mere surface reality, delving into profound cosmic mysteries. Employing an antisocial approach with varied materials, she explores daily negativity—what she terms "darkness"—to highlight the contrasting spectrum of the world. Her work bridges intuition, vision, matter, and cosmic truth, showcasing mythical, religious, and spiritual themes in an impressive, often three-dimensional manner. This is achieved through her unique techniques and a focus on essential materials, resulting in power-paintings that collectors describe as "iconical minimalization." Her exhibitions span Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Switzerland. Sica's triune material reflects a philosophical framework: the Sense (Dao) produces the First, which in turn creates the Second (Yin and Yang), leading to the Third (Heaven, Beings, and Earth). This interconnectedness reveals that everything carries darkness yet strives for light, with energy flow fostering harmony. The materials serve as ingredients, while the presentation reflects her design techniques and evolutionary analysis. This approach challenges the non-public phenomena of Spirit, Ideal, Information, Power, or Radiance. Ultimately, existence is matter, intertwined with personal emotion, where each motion and change in matter unfolds uniquely in space and time, defining unity within the material world.

The volcanoes of Guatemala and the world form the ring of fire that radiates beauty and danger, just like human minds. My work with volcanoes in xylography is a representation of that inner passion that moves the world underground and in our unconscious. My volcanic engravings were recently selected to appear on the mega screen of Art Box Project New York 0.1. With eight solo exhibitions: Galería el Attico, (2017) El Forúm Gallery (1994 and 1998), El Túnel Gallery (1995 and 1996), Rafael Landívar University (1998), El Áttico Gallery with Alma Corps (2001) and El Galería Site (2001) Exhibition of Color-Philia Watercolors. Additionally, I have participated in multiple group exhibitions, among which the 1996 Paiz Biennial, Convent of Capuchinas, El Túnel Gallery, El Sitio Gallery, Antigua Guatemala, Banco G & T Continental 2016 and the Sanchez and Guise Printing 2017 stand out.
