Carolina Antich (born in Rosario, 1970) creates artworks that are magnetic, emotional, delicate, subtle, and silent, carrying an intimate aura. Manifesting a balanced fascination, where every element is precisely positioned to represent what’s necessary, her works not only offer a reflection on the power and beauty of painting but also provide a moment of introspection.

Characters and viewers share a suspended mental state within her paintings, where empty space emerges as a dynamic and active element. In this realm, figuration reaches its fullness, and the expectant gaze can escape to delve into the depths of consciousness. A harmonious universe is constructed in the apparent silence of her landscapes and portraits.

Layer upon layer, aligning with the artifice of painting, Antich interweaves meanings to create a complex symbolic tapestry. Our eyes navigate the spatial ambiguity dominated by fields of color, the serene and undisturbed gazes of her characters, and the cadence of her titles. Although devoid of dialogue or gestural communication, her paintings are undeniably communicative and sentimental, almost hypnotic representations of the essential absolute.

Like visual haikus, her porcelain works emerge from them, a three-dimensional synthesis of her pictorial battle. Born on the banks of the Paraná River and having spent many years residing in the canals of Venice, Antich seeks to evoke in her works distant memories that, in some way, belong to all of us.
