INTERACTIVE MURAL: MEDITATION ON LOSS

MARIA-CONSTANZA GARRIDO

About:

This piece is dedicated to cherishing life and appreciating the people we know. The only fact we know when we are born is that someday we will die. Death is a transition from one dimension to another. For an artist, letting go of the pain and sorrow that the loss of a loved one entails, means to let go of the paint and the painting and allow others to participate in the experience.

Instructions:

Below, you will find finger paint. Open the containers and start getting your fingers dirty. Paint on the pattern, with any color you prefer and on any shape you like. No worries, the bathroom is on your right.

About the Artist:

Maria-Constanza Garrido is a Chilean born, cosmopolitan and polyglot by nature, deeply inspired by the works of fine arts masters such as MC Escher, Vasarely, Klimt and Van Gogh. MC Garrido has just exhibited paintings in Moscow, Russia. In the past, she has worked as an interpreter/translator, production /costume/set/interior/industrial designer.
