In 2017 a collection of pictures under the name ‘Flashes of the future’. Its creator, Cristina Navarro, from Ceuta, gave it this name because “I think I can say something. It was like a feeling that something beautiful was going to start ”, said the woman from Ceuta.
“It gave me the feeling that something happy was starting, like something had to happen, although I don’t know if it happened,” he said. Despite the fact that this mackerel assures that it does not know if something has happened, the joys that two of the pieces of that series are granting them totally indicate the opposite.
The Madrid gallery where it was exhibited decided to send Navarro’s work to Florida
After exhibiting collectively with other artists in Milan this past October, Navarro now exhibits another work from the same series in an art gallery in Florida, in the United States. “The painting that is there right now was previously in a group show in Madrid,” he explained.
From the Madrid gallery itself, it was decided to bring this work, along with others from the same show, to this North American exhibition. This collective exhibition is made up of 34 artists, among which is this Ceuta. Although the duration of the exhibition will be short, Navarro could not hide his joy and, above all, surprise, since sending this work to Florida was all up to the gallery.
The painting is also for sale, along with the rest of the exhibits. The design, following the style of this ceutí, where the symbols and characteristic colors of the stage in which it is framed predominate, is very similar to that found in the Milan exhibition. “They are from the same era. That is why they are so similar, but they are variants. They do not correspond to anything concrete, but to a state of mind, a sensation. Probably i painted one after the other, “he said.
Symbols and turquoise blue predominate in the design of the works in this series
The difference between one painting and another is found in the distribution of the symbols and the turquoise of the background, Florida being much softer. “Sometimes many pictures come out, more or less similar,” he said.
Although this series of paintings was made four years ago, its author believes that “it is a very beautiful stage of mine. I have found the most attractive to send them, “he said. While Italians and Americans enjoy these works ‘of the future’, this Ceuta is still waiting to be able to bring some of her collections to her land so that Ceuta can enjoy them.
