Alejandra Freymann (Mexico, 1983. She lives in Spain since 1992). Her works offer us apparently serene landscapes, sometimes populated by characters or animals that exude tenderness. Although it is true that without a visible threat, they transmit a certain instability, a restlessness that is difficult to define. The planes are articulated on surfaces of powerful colors that seem to merge with each other without losing their independence, precarious, as much as the supposed rationality of the figurative or the purity of the abstract.
These are enigmatic narratives, stories with an indefinite beginning and end that sometimes evoke Mexican magical realism and other times dreamlike landscapes. Despite the fragility and unreal air that her scenes transmit, she also incorporates humor, emotional charge, a certain optimism, references to the symbolic power of nature or to very diverse authors. Throughout her artistic career, she has always moved between abstraction and figuration.
In Drawing Room Lisboa 2024, we present a series of drawings from her series “Variations on the landscape, the mountain, the transitory and the idea of ​​a garden.” These landscapes are not places, they are ideas. Fragments of mountains, seas, paths, islands, fields where crows live, or gardens where visitors disappear. Empty paradises where the eyes sleep a dream of a bird without words.
