Araceli
Carrión
My work is born from the exploration of a feminine universe where childhood and femininity are suspended between dream and reality. Through the figures of girls and young women with introspective gazes and infinite hair, I create scenarios charged with symbolism: dresses that become landscapes, birds that converse with geometry, mirrors that reveal other worlds, waters that embrace and flowers that overflow.
My works do not seek to tell a linear story, but to awaken an emotion: that mix of nostalgia, unease and fascination we feel when the familiar becomes strange. They speak of the vulnerability and strength of the feminine, of the loss of innocence, of inner worlds and of the beauty that emerges when reality overflows.
Each piece is a portal to a personal territory where the beautiful and the unsettling coexist, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in their own memories and dreams.
Oil allows me to enjoy the material touch, the slowness and physical depth of painting. I work on board and canvas, building layers of colour and texture that bring my characters and their worlds to life.
Artificial intelligence becomes an extension of my imagination, allowing me to explore impossible compositions and dreamlike textures that I can then refine or print as high-quality prints on photographic paper.
Installation, intervened objects and assemblage become an emotional archaeology of childhood memory. Each piece explores the tensions of the feminine world through containers, textiles and porcelain that weave together memory and trauma.
