Alejandra Tobón
I am a happy woman, I have a wonderful home, my children, my husband, my business is what fills me with the most happiness. My family, we are a wonderful family, with many sisters, one brother, we are very united, we support each other, and my home is the most important thing for me. I am a woman who identifies myself by balance. I do not like extremes. I love the city, social life, restaurants. But I also love austerity, I love being on the farm, I love being in the countryside with my children. I love starry nights, as I also love nights full of noise, of partying. If I could define, I am a woman of complement and balance. I do not like excesses. I do not like much or anything at all. I am simply a woman who enjoys life in balance.
If I could define my work, I would say that it is a profound representation of my life, in which I capture figures that I consider essential, such as women, men, family and friends stories. For me, everything in life is a complement: the woman, the man, friends, the night, the day, fears, joys, balance and equilibrium. My work is defined precisely in those terms: complement, balance and equilibrium.
My strokes vary between being light, free and spontaneous, and others more rigid, where I often highlight the torso of both the woman and the man. I include phrases alluding to relationships, to important moments in the life of each person, to words that, from a spiritual perspective, bring tranquility. My work is designed to always transmit positive messages, which generate peace and serenity, offering the sensation of having a piece at home that envelops you in calm, in love and sometimes in laughter because in some way you identify yourself in words or texts.
In my work I talk a lot about the concept of home, of the construction of a couple, regardless of its composition, since all couples are valuable and wonderful. I have been painting for many years, developing a style of light, curvilinear strokes that highlight the beauty of the female body, not only the torso, but also the hair and mouth.
