Reply to a Valentines

‘Reply to a Valentines’ is an autobiographical work that responds to a personal situation with my current partner. It is a reply that expresses the doubts and uncertainties related to sharing life together. 

The cover of the card depicts a labyrinth as a metaphor for life and although here it is presented as a lace emboss, with its positive connotations, it is still a labyrinth in its structure and therefore full of contradictory paths, where one can easily feel desperate and lost. 

This work has been inspired by the collection of Victorian paper lace valentines cards at the Wardown House Museum in Luton (Bedfordshire), to which I had access at the beginning of November 2021.

“Silvia, Sigo toda tu trayectoria ¿Recuerdas este cuadro que te compré seleccionado en la Bienal Unión Fenosa Coruña? Ya me siguió en tres diferentes casas.”

“Liebe Silvia, die Holzbox ist eingetroffen. Und damit das wunderbare Bild. Es ist noch viel intensiver und schöner als es auf dem Foto aussah! Du bist auf einem tollen Weg! Freue mich auf nächste Schritte in Deiner Karriere… Beste Grüße aus Berlin"

“Hace mucho tiempo que sigo la obra de Silvia y siempre había querido incorporar algo de su obra gráfica a mi colección. Tuve la oportunidad de comprarle una pequeña obra original que se ha convertido en una de mis piezas favoritas. Su lenguaje gráfico dialoga perfectamente con otras piezas de mi colección de artistas como Jaume Ribas, Alfons Borrell y Rafael Canogar.”
