| Statements | ||
| ¨Hinting at forbidden pleasures to be tasted", Eugenia Burgo's paintings surround us in scale and size with luminescent sensuality of a stroll through a hidden garden on a midsummers eve. Her classical training underscores her ongoing relationship with light, shadow and color. As each of her paintings visually unfolds a psychological and erotic element appears. Nature uncovered and re-discovered, there is no element rendered without insight an conviction. She is an artist supremely comfortable in her ability and the expression within the work powerful , subliminal and alive. |

| In meiner Arbeit versuche ich, den Betrachter auf die Schönheiten dieser Welt hinzuweisen, indem ich kleine Auschnitte aus der Natur in meinen Gemälden(Oel auf Leinwand) extrem vergrössert darstelle. Damit trete ich bewusst dem in den medien üblichen Ansatz entgegen, lediglich die negativen Schlagzeilen in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Durch meine realistische Darstellung der Natur versuche ich eine unverzerrte aber einseitige politische Aussage zu machen, welche von Betrachter nicht als solche wahrgenommen wird. Meine Bilder setzen einen Kontrapunkt zu der durch die Medien verzerrt wiedergegebene Darstellung der Realität. Das Aufeinandertreffen der gegensätzlichen Gefühle soll dazu beitragen, dass der Betrachter eine gesamthaft realistischere Wahrnehmung seiner Umwelt erlangt. Bei der Betrachtung meiner Gemälde ist es somit wesentlich, dass diese mit den allgegenwärtigen, durch die Medien verbreiteten Bilder in Bezug gesetzt werden. Die extreme Vergrösserung der Motive und die laute Farbgebung soll dazu beitragen, das meine Gegenbotschaft gegen die Uebermacht des Mediengeschreis bestehen kann. |
