Urban Pioneering Species Gardens
Alejandro Pérez Cruz | 2017
The emptiness of the first garden ... is the first tree,
the silence of the wind, the soul of the body,
the sky of the earth, the sound of harmony,
the color of light, the head of the heart,
the love of life, the fullness is to teach his own nature,
the communion of the existing is the garden of the possible,
the back to the origin,
the Eden.
The artwork of Julieta Barrios Reyes, nourishes on the texture of time and the trace of nature, she lives a journey between the consciousness of being and the physical awareness of an environment that is growing in the decomposition of Megalopolis, the linear structures of the drawing and its insistent color, rescue the urban and distant the chaos and melancholy of day and evening, the night makes the shadow of the same, of the light that transmits the passion for what exists and remembers what Lost with imprinted prints in the natural color of the creative imaginary.
For Julieta, the ritual of life is her daily life, her task as a collector and hunter of utopias, concrete dreams in the printed image of the texture, its own abandonment, an order in the chaos of the city, in the discontent of a no landscape and its eternal contrasts, it is certainly no accident that her world turns over in the image and the color, her experiences are an environment where the stroke in occasions ingenious and subtle; shows her concern for the environment, which is important and real, magic and ritual that falls from the tree of life, to grow in lines, stains, imprints of thought that are cultivated in a survival before all else, a back to the origin, to the symbolism of its borders printed from her circles that grow before the viewer, as a resistance and salvation of our natural origin.
A belief, a faith in herself, takes her on the way to crossroads of mixed feelings that hold a language to create hybrid realities, objects of contemplation to maintain consciousness. Awake, always alert, from there the strident of its luminous compositions with own life, connection from the genesis, the magic of a destiny that builds the daily life, sequences, encounters that manifest her micro and macro images, ornaments with a discourse of activism in favor of natural struggle, representations of origin, experiments that integrate the events and guide us in the imaginary, the garden of the delights, the adventitious garden, the urban garden, the garden of ancient metaphor, the Eden of dreams of everyday travelers, the back to Julieta's origin the mirror of reality, the shadow of the first words in the world, the promise of nature and its chaotic progress, the origin of emptiness, sowing a new tree, a new origin, drawings and wishes of Julieta that leave the testimony of her time.
