PATRICIA DI LORETO - VITA BREVIS ARS LONGA

Patricia Di Loreto, a Buenos Aires-born artist based in Brazil, with exhibitions and awards in various countries, brings to The House of Arts two series of paintings, featuring works from 2015 to 2024. In the first series, the artist invites the viewer to toast to encounters, figures that foreshadow dialogues, relationships, and scenes. In the other, clearly post-pandemic, the human figure appears on the walls, through referenced paintings, sculptures, and traces. Solitude takes precedence over encounters. In both, there is a very clear poetic signature: vibrant colors, significant architecture in the presented context, furniture that is sometimes as much a protagonist as the figures composing the scene, or even replacing them. 

Patricia's most recent work post-Covid pandemic. It marks a pivotal point in her poetics. Before the pandemic, social life influenced her scenes, like the interactions seen in the diptych of the X-Ray Of A Cat In Full Leap, where dialogues are integral to her compositions. In "Speak to me," isolation, loneliness, and art as companions dominate. Red tones continue to prevail in her paintings.
