Emilia Azcárate: Liminal

This study of Emilia Azcárate’s recent work focuses on her vital relationship with spiritual practices, namely Nichiren Buddhism, and includes three bodies of work: ‘Practicables’, ‘Postcards’ and the ‘Gohonzon’ series. In incorporating processes, ideas and aesthetics related to her life and spirituality, Azcárate applies recurrent conceptual themes in her oeuvre, linking them with abstraction as a way to manifest her own spirituality in meditative fields of patterns, shapes and colours. According to the artist, “There are times that I don’t differentiate between painting or practicing, it is one and the same.” Spanish/English
