Cecilia Granara’s work questions representations of the feminine and explores the body as the seat of emotions. Love, desire, longing, or sadness are all states that the artist symbolizes in her paintings. Indeed, Cecilia Granara’s paintings create territories to welcome the expression of suffering and anger, to revive them and live through them in a meditative experience that summons communion and the collective. The power of immersion in colors sends us into a choreography of healthy energies. They awaken the body to make it enter into empathy with stories of imaginary suffering populated by apparitions, deities and ghosts. If the colors express appeasement, hope, warmth and joy, they also give us a collective refuge from violence, so we can evacuate it, using pleasure as a possible path of resistance.
