The present works by Joana Pitta (b.1993, Lisbon) with a degree in sculpture and a master's degree in Multimedia Art, an artist published for the first time by the Portuguese Screen Printing Center, were on display at FIG Bilbao - Art Festival of Bilbao. They present, in an innovative technique, “blades” vertical, perpendicular to the background of the works, inviting a reading from the viewer's angle, an aspect that the artist has been exploring. The imperceptible border between figuration and abstraction is revealed in these veils that hide and reveal imprecise forms evoking the four elements and the seasons, the cycles of the sun, the brightness of summer and the shadows of winter. The kingdoms of water and air and those of earth and fire coexist in compositions with an abstract effect populated by fluid arabesques, a kind of subtle calligraphy of the visible that in them reflects the essence of their disturbing tendency. ;ence for instability and metamorphosis.
