It is the route on which you walk along, you live and leave behind… your colours and your years… they follow your look and they listen to your laughter, silently and noisily, they adore the energy you release as a human being.
And in this particular moment the artist appears both as an observer as well as a creator. The artist imprints your footprints upon the canvas attached to stretchers and captures your memories, all these deep marks of your nourishment which gaze as beacons at the uniqueness of your existence.
As abandoned shadows, objects of matter or transparent, prismatic seas which cannot fade away, cannot be erased, cannot forget because they become Art. A kind of Art which functions as reference to the eternal and clear.
In the artwork of Gilda Frumkin, humans are present through their passage. We encounter oars, buoys or ship cordage dropped as heavy chains which in total travel enchanted into their supernatural realism. Occasionally, the artistic touch possesses an impressionistic expression whereas at times it distorts its realism and becomes an abstraction, an environment of visual arts where the symbolism of image is introduced to the expressionism of emotions and together they give birth to a unique existential condition which in combination with the lyricism and the artistic sensitivity highlight the value of the route…
A route on which for once more a human has walked along… and has lived… and has left behind…”
