Artist Edition: "Mother of Pearls" by Merike Estna

The central thesis of Merike Estna’s work is to imagine Painting as a living element beyond its formal and creative expression, or as a visual and historical archive. As direct as powerful, the artist defines "Performative Painting" as a dynamic entity, a common territory in which societies carry out their simplest collective rituals; a space for reflection, spirituality and meditation; and a complex system of layers of materials that are capable of generating the deepest and most intimate emotions in those who experience them (Alberto Ríos de la Rosa). This edition was made to accompany the solo show Mother of Pearls at Galeria Karen Huber, Mexico City, 2019.
