When Rox came up with the title Blau for her exhibition, the sky and the ocean where in her thoughts.In her paintings the salted sea takes the form of the mythical Poseidon giant and at the same time it decomposes into small particles to signify that within the immensness of the sea there are other fragmented mysteries. She experiments with all sorts of materials: sand, stones, sponges, pigments, ropes, paper. Her painting "Tale" is a crafty work within which the artist sticks pages from a book that she brought back from Munich onto the canvas and stamps various images in the form of a sponge on top: "You know that whe you squeeze a sponge with your hands a lot more comes out than what can be seen at first sight", admits Mena. Admirer of Pollock, she admits that in her eyes the interpretation of art has to be free, "I dont like telling people what they are supposed to see or what they should feel. In the same way, I don't want my works to be classified into a certain movement", she says. The fluidity is another of the strengths of this young artist, with which she achieves a special celestial light on her canvases. (María Elena Vallés)
