GREEN DRESS . 140 cm x 93 cm . painting
It all started with and old , worn jacket of someone’s grandfather. A jacket made by a tailor in Spain circa 1940 . With its handmade stiches, not very well done. And somebody told me things about the man who wore this jacket .
So I started by trying to lay it out in the most natural gesture ... hanging the jacket with strings from the ceiling.
... and they gave me a beautiful dress, a black wedding dress sewned by its owner, by Elena, with her own hands. In a little village in the Pyrenees in 1951. Somebody told me a few things about her and I got to know her. I saw that there was a connection between the dress and the man’s jacket.
Later on, I found that evening dress that I recalled from my childhood. Then the little girls dress. And I hung them together, with strings from the ceiling, as I remembered the gestures.
