From the earth thou shall come, carved thou shall became

She communicates through her hands. Dominates the clay. Carves dreamy looks, indifferent ones, laughter, smiles and sadness. Facial expressions that convey to the world her way of interpret her small universe. It is a discreet and artistic expression that unforgettable thrills the eye. The caller is not indifferent. These are the figures of sand of Patricia Sumares.

Your work for lonarte reminds me of Juan Muñoz's figures, although someone said that was a type of sand figure, how did this concept surfece ?
Patricia Sumares: It came from a work I am developing and not yet exposed in a rectangular format, also identical to this work, I filled out with these faces. Guilherme saw it and asked me to participate. From the dimensions of the canvas I did this installation.
You named that one of your areas of choice is to sculpture, working with clay.
PS: I have a degree in sculpture and clay work too, which is the most classic material for any sculptor. I like it, because it makes everything we want to do. I feel perfectly at ease. Those who know my work, which is already some, notices that I like to address the issue of the figures, faces and children.
It is also a very classical approach, the human figure.
PS: Yes, that's because I love people. Their expressions. I appreciate every gesture.
Do you take pictures of these faces?
PS: I take a few. Mainly, I like to keep them in my memory. I like to observe more than talk and maybe when I create these works, I am communicating with other material. Alias, art is a form of expression. Another of my passions is children. I like to reproduce a lot, that is my maternal side. We women, we cannot have nine or ten children, the art turns out to be such an extension. I do modeling in clay, them I create the mold which allows me to reproduce the same figure and do installations. In my work, I create my pieces instead of using collages, or objects. I do everything from scratch. In this work for lonarte, there are five different expressions, which I model suitable to the space.
The choice of clay is unusual.
PS: I like white because it is unusually and clear. It is not pure white as plaster, but allows mixing with other types of pottery and different colors. I like that tone, like champagne, it looks more artistic in my way of seeing thing and that has more to do with me.
