Leonor Demori

Statement  

My work begins with the process of gestural and intuitive painting, influenced and dominated by color, and leaving space for the unpredictable forces of nature. The use and control of gravity and dynamics play an important role in my art. I then produce a series of digital images of the surface just created. The use of a large format printer generates the artwork to continue my process of painting and drawing over the surface. The end result is rich in organic geometrical shapes that challenge my knowledge of visual perception.
