Twine, wood and fabric are some of the materials chosen by Ana Prata to compose the pieces of her first solo exhibition at Galeria Millan. Opening on June 5th, The Sun and the Difference marks a new phase in the artist’s work, in which she diversifies the media for her paintings, dedicating herself to a more symbolic representation and to abstraction.
From the use of uncommon materials emerges an objectual character, beyond the traditional oil on canvas. “Different media and materials may interest me while creating a painting, since each of them is a unit of thought or an idea, that manifests itself through the body of an object and its appearance. I am interested in the uniqueness of each piece,” says Ana.
