El mundo de Patricia Sicardi Calandrelli
Artista
Pinturas y grabados
Estudio
La cercanía del mar Mediterráneo, la luz de Cadaqués, que a tantos artistas ha inspirado a lo largo de los años, la presencia de la tramontana, son algunas de las razones que me impulsaron a establecer mi estudio en este lugar.

About my work
Óleos, acrílicos, técnicas mixtas
“... Pinto cuando estoy en un estado emocional que voy preparando y nutriendo con mi propia vida. Lo que hago, las experiencias, las amistades y especialmente los viajes, siempre me despiertan emociones e impulsan mi creatividad y mi necesidad de pintar. De hecho, toda esta muestra surge tras volver de Argentina. Después de un viaje intenso y de mucho silencio, hablo, narro y pinto. El resultado está en esta obra que traigo hoy en Madrid”.

Artist Statement
Sicardi’s most recent paintings are about creating new spaces. Color was the dominant element in her previous works, but here she contrasts black and white with vigorous, gestural brushwork. Lines and forms interplay in spaces of silence. Brief mentions of color intimate force, rhythm and interiority: a dance for the spectator.
Eudald Camps wrote in the Spanish Daily newspaper Diario de Girona that “Patricia Sicardi’s Mediterranean vision is evident in her artworks. The city of Cadaqués, Spain, provided an ideal setting where Sicardi’s paintings could resolve themselves with an intensity that strikes close to home. Vast fields of color and forceful brushstrokes allow light to vibrate with an unsuspected brilliance, and the retina to recreate itself through an interplay of light. Freedom at its maximum.”
