THE TULIPS by JORGE HERNAIZ
28, March. 2020
At the beginning of this year, the Spanish artist Jorge Hernaiz visited us and worked at our “White wall project” on this massive painting entitle “The tulips”.
Together with the images of Hernaiz work, we would like to share with you what he told us about the inspirations and intentions of his artwork:
“Since I remember I have been painting, always wanting to know, why I do it?
From a very young age they teach us to repeat what they want and do what they send us, every minute we get older we forget the child we carry inside and we are wrapped in ties by the system, my Tulips represents this encounter and its link between the painter and the child.
It is a language that we forget or make us forget, what has led me to inquire again from the root of it.
I wanted to make a series of sheets of paper and crayons that took me very interesting along the way of feeling a little freer using this virtue of being a child again.
Rather, a child who is always with me has to express his feelings with paint, "I do not want to copy anyone's work, nor do I want to reinvent what is already done by other painters", I thought so to overcome the fear of the white canvas that an unscrupulous child has, without really knowing why they are not afraid of what they will say, they know what is done because it is a fun game, only when you become an adult is there a twisting game, THE PAINT.
This is how I wanted to represent the moment of splendor with these Tulips from my beloved Holland.”
