Art without complex

‘One can deduce several facts from Pilar Estrade’s work. Firstly, her creative passion, the enthusiasm that she displays. This is an author who feels, lives and works as an artist. She possesses clairvoyance and the absolute ability to determine what is to become artwork. She succeeds in finding the perfect way to convert the most simple into the complexity of transcendent art. Her painting is lucid, conscious and wise, whereas it is powerful and overwhelming. She dominates the compositional structure. She is rigurous with her formal treatment. She perfectly expresses her colours, that spontaneously arise in her painting, contemplating the right postulates to make her work accomplish the mere expressionist power. She knows how to deprive reality of unnecessary arguments to simply enlighten the concept. Yet her painting is distances from figurative art compositions and achieves values for a wisely conceived abstraction. This is art in its pure state. Pilar Estrade masters painting but uses photography to establish the same visual arts baseline where art spreads without borders, without limits and, what prevails the most, without complex.’
